Summary: Excellent book for all ages
Comment: I read this book (and Sea of Monsters) to my 8 and 9 year old kids and they loved it. My 8 year old is also dyslexic and I think having a hero with a learning disability is empowering to him.
We're starting Book 3 this week, but so far the series has been really engaging and always leaves the kids asking for more! And to be honest, I want to read it every night as well. There's excitement, mystery, suspense, attempted murder, and even a bit of a crush woven in there...what's not to love?

Summary: GREAT BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment: This book is sooo good. It's hilarious, action-packed, interesting, and with a great plot that twists and turns. It's about this boy, Percy Jackson, who eventually finds out he is the son of Poseidon and the daughter of his mortal mother. Freaked out, the poor kid is given a dangerous quest, but he battles through it bravely with his friends. It's sooo funny! The Olympian gods appear everywhere, and can be a help or and annoyance. The characters are fresh and bright and lovable. If you buy this book, make sure to get the next three too!! These great books are fantastic.

Percy Jackson is a good kid, but he cant seem to focus on his schoolwork or control his temper. And lately, being away at boarding school is only getting worsePercy could have sworn his pre-algebra teacher turned into a monster and tried to kill him. Percys mom decides its time that he knew the truth about where he came from. She sends Percy to Camp Half-Blood, a summer camp for demigods (on Long Island), where he learns that the father he never knew is Poseidon, God of the Sea. Soon a mystery unfolds and together with his friendsone a satyr and the other the demigod daughter of AthenaPercy sets out on a quest across the United States to reach the gates of the Underworld (located in a recording studio in Hollywood) and prevent a catastrophic war between the gods. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves.
