Through his five-book series, Riordan brings ancient Greece loosely back to life. More than just a story, Riordan also teaches about the Greek gods and demigods. Taking place in present day, Percy Jackson and his fellow campers and demigods must save the world from the rising Titan, Kronos. Each year brings new challenges and a new piece of the prophecy thought to concern Percy. With all of the bad going on, Percy sees to find the good in life and remember what he is fighting for.
I really enjoyed this series. There are many positive attributes displayed by the characters: loyalty, courage, trying to do what is right, searching for truth, and respect for parents and teachers. Percy has personal struggles that he has to overcome and he does his best without giving up. Being easy to read, this book would be good for middle school students.
