Imagine learning that your dad is a Greek God? Well, that’s what happened to Percy Jackson! This book travels through a journey with Percy and his friends, who are trying to stop evil from rising over the good. 

This book is amazing. It is a fast-paced and easy read for anyone above the age of 8. As someone who loves Harry Potter, Percy Jackson is another series to love. I would rate this book 4 stars for its excitement, comedy, and thrill!
