This book was recommended by one of my students and once I started reading, I was hooked! The book is a great mix of Greek Mythology, adventure, and humor. Percy is always in trouble and his life takes an unexpected twist. I really enjoyed reading about the characters in Greek Mythology that Percy and his friends bump into!

I would definitely recommend this book to students who like fantasy books like Harry Potter & Peter and the Star Catchers. I can't wait to read the other books in this series and see the movie in 2010!
