Percy Jackson

The Percy Jackson series are about a boy, Percy, who discovers that he's a demigod and the son of Poseidon, when he goes to a camp specially for demigods. There he meets Annabeth, the daughter of Athena, and discovers that his best friend Grover was  satyr. In each book, Percy and his friends come closer to finally defeating the monsters, when they find out that Cronos rose with the help of their friend Luke, who betrayed the camp, and that Cronos is responsible for the monsters. You'd think that the books would be confusing because of all the gods and such, but the author, Rick Riordan, takes Mythology, and makes it modern and easy to understand for everyone. So not only do you get to have fun, but you also learn! While learning might not seem like an exciting prospect for many of you, it doesn't feel like you're sitting down and doing research. I like this book because not only is it written well, I also like Mythology. The series are 5 books long, and are continued in another series, The Heroes of Olympus, in which they introduce the Roman demigods. While they're very similar, there are small differences between the Greeks and the Romans. Mainly, the Romans are more viscous. Honestly, I like the Greek gods better, but that might be because I learned about them before I learned about the Romans.

Here you see the intense battle between Greeks and Romans to best each other.
