An exciting journey worth re-reading again and again.

SO MUCH FUN!!!! As an adult I really enjoyed this book. I was so surprised and thrilled to finally see a worthy story incorporate Greek mythology into such an easy fun read. I wish this was around when I went to elementary school. This is the kind of book that really gets your imagination spinning.

Percy Jackson is a 12 yr. old that discovers his chaotic dyslectic life is influenced by his tie-ins to the Greek Gods. Yes, they are real, and so are the monsters that come with!
