Favorite Series

Hello Everyone! My favorite series is Percy Jackson & The Olympians, by Rick Riordan. This series is about a kid who finds out that he is a demigod, a half human-half God. His name is Persius Jackson. His Dad is Posiedon, the god of the sea. Percy soon finds out that he is in mortal danger, because he is a son of the "Big Three", (Posiedon, Zeus, and Hates). These God's were not supposed to have kids, but they did anyway. Percy's mom takes him to a camp called "Camp Half-Blood". This is for demigod's just like Percy. On the way to the camp, Percy has to fight the Minotaur, a famous monster, that is half bull, half man. While fighting this monster, Percy's mother dies. This gives Percy the strength to kill the Minotaur. Percy wakes up in Camp Half Blood, with a Cenataur (A half man-half horse) That he soon finds out is his former teacher, Mr. Brunner. Percy finds out that Zeus's famous lighting bolt has been stolen. Zeus has blamed this task on Posiedon, and Percy. Percy then goes on a quest to find the lighting bolt. He eventually finds it after fighting Medusa, The Hydra, and taming Ceberus with a little rubber ball. He brings it back, and all is well. Except for the Titans, they were the ones who came up with the plot of stealing Zeus's lighting bolt. They plan on taking over the world. This all just happens in the 1st book. You should read the 2nd, 3rd,4th,and 5th books, it gets better. The order that the books go in is: 1 The Lighting Thief. 2 The Sea Of Monsters. 3 The Titans Curse. 4 The Battle of the Labyrinth. 5 The Last Olympian.

Here are some other great series that I would suggest reading. The Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonothan Stroud, The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins, The Everest series, by Gordon Korman, The Island series by Gordon Korman, The Ember series by Jeanne DuPrau, The Vladimir Tod Series by Heather Brewer, A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket (This is an assumed name), and of course the Harry Potter Series by J.K Rowling.
