Product Description Humans and half-bloods alike agree--Percy Jackson and the Olympians is a series fit for heroes! Re-live the adventure from the beginning with this boxed set of the first three books. The Lightning Thief Percy Jackson is a good kid, but he can't seem to focus on his schoolwork or control his temper. When his mom tells him the truth about where he came from, she takes him to the one place he'll be safe--Camp Half-Blood, a summer camp for demigods (on Long Island). There, Percy learns that the father he never knew is actually Poseidon, God of the Sea. Soon Percy finds himself caught up in a mystery that could lead to disastrous consequences. Together with his friends--a satyr and other the demigod daughter of Athena--Percy sets out on a quest to reach the gates of the Underworld (located in a recording studio in Hollywood) and prevent a catastrophic war between the gods. The Sea of Monsters After a summer spent trying to prevent a catastrophic war among the Greek gods, Percy Jackson finds his seventh-grade school year unnervingly calm. But things don't stay quiet for long. Percy soon discovers there is trouble at Camp Half-Blood: the magical borders which protect Half-Blood Hill have been poisoned by a mysterious enemy, and the only safe haven for demigods is on the verge of being overrun by mythological monsters. To save the camp, Percy needs the help of his best friend, Grover, who has been taken prisoner by the Cyclops Polyphemus on an island somewhere in the Sea of Monsters--the dangerous waters Greek heroes have sailed for millennia--only today, the Sea of Monsters goes by a new nameL: the Bermuda Triangle. Now Percy and his friends must retrieve the Golden Fleece from the Island of the Cyclopes by the end of the summer or Camp Half-Blood will be destroyed. But first, Percy will learn a stunning new secret about his family--one that makes him question whether being claimed as Poseidon's son is an honor or simply a cruel joke... The Titan's Curse When Percy Jackson receives a distress call from his friend Grover, he immediately prepares for battle. He knows he'll need his powerful demigod allies, Annabeth and Thalia, at his side; his trusty broze sword Riptide; and... a ride from his mom. The demigods race to the rescue, to find that Grover has made an important discovery: two new powerful half-bloods whose parentage is unknown. But that's not all that awaits them. The Titan lord, Kronos, has set up his most devious trap yet, and the young heroes have unwittingly fallen prey. Hilarious and action-packed, this third adventure in the series finds Percy faced with his most dangerous challenge so far: the chilling prophecy of the Titan's curse.

Good Books but Copy Cat July 30, 2010 Reader Mom (Los Angeles CA United States) These are good books - I started with the movie "Lightening Thief" which I loved. Now on the 3rd book. I love learning about the gods & the stories capture & entertain me. As an avid Harry Potter fan, I am disappointed by the obvious copy-cat of this author. Things like "Invisibility cap(e)", "Half-Bloods", Parts of the villian needing to come together to make a whole, "Hippocampus" animals (think Hippogriff). And different details like that throughout the book. Come On! I wish that this writer, who is engaging and creative on his own accord, would come up with his own ideas. It does a disservice to Harry Potter, and made me less respectful of him as a writer, and his work.
That being said, my kids love the stories & they are entertaining & worth reading. Looking forward to book 4!
The Lightening Thief July 30, 2010 Caleb N 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you like adventures then you will like this book. It takes place in New York, present day. The main character, Percy Jackson, is half man, half god, but he doesn't know it. I like this story because it teaches you Greek mythology and it is full of adventures. In the beginning of the story, Percy's life starts to get weird and he keeps blowing up school equipment. Zeus thinks Percy stole his lightening bolt, and that is a problem! Grover, his best friend/secret protector saves him many a time. In the end, Percy becomes more understanding and brave. I like this story and I am sure you will too!
Best Series since Harry Potter July 29, 2010 Someone! :) Rick Riordan is an amazing writer. This series is my favorite since Harry Potter! I can't get enough of it!!
quick delivery and great books July 28, 2010 Panida Wongchantara Saw the movie and like it so I ordered this book set with Book 4 & 5 and used the free SUPER shipping. It arrived at my door 5 days after I ordered. Almost finished book 1 - better than the movie, of course. Don't need to be kids or young adult to enjoy this.
Percy Jackson books 1-3 July 25, 2010 Debra Howell (texas) my books came about a week after i ordered them and were in excellent condition.
