Percy Jackson and the Olympians

Percy Jackson and the Olympians is a retake on the ancient Greek myths, 21st century style. Rick Riordan has taken the old stories that we all love and has given it a modern twist. What people originally found as boring, dull and completely bonkers now interests them so much, that they want more.

Most people think that the Greek were nuts, believing in so many gods, giving them each something to rule over, however insignificant the matter. But Percy Jackson not only entertains but also informs how each god's rule can change the balance of the world we live in.

In these books, Percy Jackson, a demigod (Half god, half mortal) has been told that a prophecy had been issued some 70 years ago, which involved him. So Percy, along with his friends Annabeth, Grover, Thalia and the other campers at Camp Half-Blood are left with the task of defending Olympus against the evil Titan lord Kronos.

Greek lovers can read this to see their gods in a different perspective and those with no interest in Greek mythology, pick up the books and read!!

These books are a must-read. Recommended for all ages.

Rick Riordan has come out with a sort-of follow up to these books: Heroes of Olympus.

The first book is called The Lost Hero, where 3 new demi-gods are introduced, and we find out that the main protagonist Percy is missing.
