just LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the entire series that starts with this story! Percy Jackson is a middle school kid who
always seems to be getting into trouble and out of schools (as in “kicked
out”). Things finally start to make
sense when he ends up at a training camp for demigods (half-human, half-gods),
but things start to get dangerous when he’s accused of stealing from a god—a
crime he didn’t commit! Readers who are
up for tackling 377 pages of fantasy adventure need to pick up Rick Riordan’s
novel. Readers who want a quicker, more
reasonable read should try Robert Venditti’s graphic novel version. It’s actually a really good rendition of the
original story.
