Humans and half-bloods alike agree--Percy Jackson and the Olympians is a series fit for heroes! Re-live the adventure from the beginning with this boxed set of the first three books.
The Lightning Thief Percy Jackson is a good kid, but he can't seem to focus on his schoolwork or control his temper. When his mom tells him the truth about where he came from, she takes him to the one place he'll be safe--Camp Half-Blood, a summer camp for demigods (on Long Island). There, Percy learns that the father he never knew is actually Poseidon, God of the Sea. Soon Percy finds himself caught up in a mystery that could lead to disastrous consequences. Together with his friends--a satyr and other the demigod daughter of Athena--Percy sets out on a quest to reach the gates of the Underworld (located in a recording studio in Hollywood) and prevent a catastrophic war between the gods.
The Sea of Monsters After a summer spent trying to prevent a catastrophic war among the Greek gods, Percy Jackson finds his seventh-grade school year unnervingly calm. But things don't stay quiet for long. Percy soon discovers there is trouble at Camp Half-Blood: the magical borders which protect Half-Blood Hill have been poisoned by a mysterious enemy, and the only safe haven for demigods is on the verge of being overrun by mythological monsters. To save the camp, Percy needs the help of his best friend, Grover, who has been taken prisoner by the Cyclops Polyphemus on an island somewhere in the Sea of Monsters--the dangerous waters Greek heroes have sailed for millennia--only today, the Sea of Monsters goes by a new nameL: the Bermuda Triangle. Now Percy and his friends must retrieve the Golden Fleece from the Island of the Cyclopes by the end of the summer or Camp Half-Blood will be destroyed. But first, Percy will learn a stunning new secret about his family--one that makes him question whether being claimed as Poseidon's son is an honor or simply a cruel joke...
The Titan's Curse When Percy Jackson receives a distress call from his friend Grover, he immediately prepares for battle. He knows he'll need his powerful demigod allies, Annabeth and Thalia, at his side; his trusty broze sword Riptide; and... a ride from his mom. The demigods race to the rescue, to find that Grover has made an important discovery: two new powerful half-bloods whose parentage is unknown. But that's not all that awaits them. The Titan lord, Kronos, has set up his most devious trap yet, and the young heroes have unwittingly fallen prey. Hilarious and action-packed, this third adventure in the series finds Percy faced with his most dangerous challenge so far: the chilling prophecy of the Titan's curse.
(173 customer reviews) Great Series.., 2010-09-05 I bought this set & the 4th book in the series for my niece for her Birthday. She just turned 13 & absolutely loved them! She read the 1st 3 in a matter of 6 days & is on to the 4th so that says it all right there. You can't beat the price either. Barnes & Nobles wanted $25 for the same set so look no further than here to purchase the books.
Wonderful series great gift, 2010-08-30 This seires is wonderful! I purchased this set for my 10 year old son as a birthday gift. I read them with him and wound up liking them myself. This is great reading for anyone who enjoys mythic books.
Loved these books!, 2010-08-22 I really like the Percy Jackson set of books!! I enjoyed the Greek mythology, gods, goddesses and monsters with a modern twist. I found that I couldn't put them down, and was constantly wanting to find out what happened next. I know they are supposedly written for young adults/pre teens, but I am 40 and enjoyed them just as much! I also ordered books 4 and 5 and am pleased with those as well. My daughter will be reading them next. I will definitely be looking for more books to read by Rick Riordan!
This book changed me, 2010-08-13 I am an 11-year-old girl who absolutely hated reading. I could never find a book I liked. If I actually found a good book, I would end up getting bored with it and not finishing it. Then, I happened to stumble upon "Percy." I opened up this book, and I never put it down. I read all day long, while eating dinner, while brushing my teeth, and even read it by flashlight in bed. I finished the series in less than two weeks. I cried so hard when I was finished with the last book. I was literally sick to my stomach and had a headache. I was bedstricken, okay???!! Then, I found out Rick Riordan would be writing a new "Percy" series, featuring some of the old characters. I have no reason to live until "The Lost Hero" comes out. (October 12th.) This is coming from a girl who, 2 weeks before "Percy", wouldn't even read a picture book. Rick Riordan, you are amazing. This author knows what his mythology-loving audience wants to read. And I will be reading Rick's work as long as I can possibly stand it!!!!!!!
There was a movie based on this ?, 2010-08-10 The title is just meant to be sarcastic, I know there's a movie and I saw it, but when reading the book it felt as if the movie wasn't even based on it. The movie hacked up the book and dumbed it down to be a totally kid friendly movie. While the book is full of non-stop action and twisted and scary villains that weren't even included in the movie!
The Madusa scene in the movie is too much like Clash of the Titans, her part is a little longer in the book and I found it funny that she ran her own lunch in where she cooks for people and then turns them into stone. That wasn't in the movie, in the movie she just chases Percy and his friends as soon as they get to her place pretty much. The movie is okay, but it made the book look bad, when it's actually an excellent book that could have made a great movie. Even if you saw the movie, I recommend reading the book. I saw the movie first and I'm glad I read the book because it's an excellent read and blows the movie away!
