This book series is about a boy who's a demigod, or half mortal and half god. There are five books that detail five years at Camp Half Blood,a camp for young demigods. Throughout the series, he meets with different characters from Greek mythology who either help him, hinder him, or provide some comic relief. I like this series because it contains Greek mythology, which I had the pleasure of reading a huge book ( about +300 pages) on in third grade. I instantly fell in love with the characters and the overall plot of the stories, therefore loved it when they put a twist on it by putting a twelve year old in the equation. These books were written by Rick Riordan, who some kids might recognize from the first book in "The 39 Clues", a series which Riordan helps to write. The first book, "The Lightning Thief" was also made into a movie of the same name.
Because this series was made for kids, I'll be a bit gentler with the rating. I'd rate this for kids about 10 years old, in case some parents wouldn't want their children acquainted with blood and some crude humor. (This book is great for parents, too) The books can be as long as more than four hundred pages, so take that into account as well.
