We just added the 5 book Percy Jackson & the Olympians series to our collection. These fictional adventure and fantasy books are authored by Rick Riordan.
The books are predominantly based on Greek mythology. The main character is Percy Jackson, who discovers that he is the son of Poseidon, god of the sea and earthquakes. He learns that the legendary beings of Greek mythology still exist and have always existed, including monsters, cyclopes, empousae, Titans, and the Greek Gods (Olympians) themselves who dwell in Olympus, which is now situated at the mythical 600th floor of the Empire State Building.
The first book was made into a movie which you may have already seen. If you like mythology and/or adventure, pick up the first book and give it a try. I'm betting you'll end up reading all 5! As always, we'd like to hear your critique!
