Percy Jackson

Most of our readers will have heard of this title already, so I'll keep the explanations short. Percy Jackson and the Olympians is exactly what its title suggests. A boy of twelve, Percy finds himself seeing things that shouldn't be possible - demons and strange creatures in the place of humans. He quickly discovers that he's the half son of Poseidon and is sent to Camp Half-Blood to train. From there weaves an epic five-book tale, stretching across the United States and into different worlds. Percy enters the underworld, stands beside titans, and defeats monsters, but the common thread is his training. Camp Half-Blood presents the perfect ground for quirky characters, each presenting aspects of their Greek god parents. The students are pitted against each other in mock challenges and harsh contests, all the while training in sword and magic.
