Are you interested in Greek mythologies? What if I told you the gods never left – that they’re alive, scheming and having kids in the 21st century? That’s the electrifying premise of the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series – and if you’re obsessed with Greek myths, this is your next addictive read.
Meet Percy Jackson: a 12-year-old with dyslexia and ADHD who just wants a normal life until he discovers his true father is Poseidon, and his maths teacher is a monster sent to kill him.
The series brilliantly weaves ancient legends into our world with hilarious and thrilling consequences. While reading this book, I felt like I was fighting alongside Percy. Just when you think the story is over, The Heroes of Olympus series cranks the epic to a whole new level. Percy’s story collides with a new crew of demigods: Jason, Piper and Leo.
I would recommend you start with The Lightning Thief and prepare to lose sleep. These books are more than just stories – they’re a portal to another world. You’ll finish the last page and immediately check your pen for a hidden sword.
