With his two best friends by his side, Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, and Grover Underwood, a satyr, Percy is truly never alone throughout the series, even through his darkest of times. It shows the importance of friendship and loyalty Here are my top reasons why it’s ideal for you to read them this summer.ġ.
If you and your family haven’t read these chapter books just yet, I can’t recommend anything else more than the Percy Jackson series. We get to see Percy become a true hero as he balances normal adolescent adjustments (bullying, home drama, and navigating friendships) as well as demigod dilemmas (fighting actual gods, upsetting ancient deities, and having to battle monsters). The first book, Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief, introduces Percy, his new friends, and how he adjusts to this life-changing news. A native New Yorker, Percy learns that “Olympus” is located in his hometown, atop the Empire State Building, as the Greek capital changes with modern times. The first book of the series was published in 2005 and follows the main character, 12-year-old Percy, as he learns that the Greek gods are in fact real and that he is a demigod, the son of Poseidon.
Percy Jackson & the Olympians spans five books, written by award-winning author Rick Riordan.
