PERCY JACKSON by Rick Riordan


There are seven books in this Greek mythology based series. All the books are un-put-downable.
Broadly the series is about Camp Half-Blood training to fight Kronos.

Camp half-blood is where half-bloods, i.e. half gods and half mortals stay. These people are so because one of their parents is God and the other is a normal mortal. These half-bloods cannot stay in normal places with regular mortals as they attract monsters.

Kronos is the father of three Gods Posieden (God of Sea), Zeus (God of Sky) and Hades (God of the underworld). Kronos had eaten Posieden and Hades but then the mother could stop hime from eating Zeus. Kronos now wants to destroy all the Gods and rule Olympus , the place where all gods live. Kronos is immortal and therefore upon being defeated and killed he takes other forms and reappears.

It’s a fabulous way of learning mythology. Mostly children think mythology is boring, but Rick Riordan makes it really exciting. You will learn about the names and characteristics of different gods, some great stories like that of ‘Achilles’, dangers of underworld, the beauty of friendship and so many other things.
