The Last Olympian

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Last Olympian, by Rick Riordan
(Grades 4 and Up)

If you've read the last 4 books in the Percy Jackson series I'm sure you are eagerly awaiting this last installment, or reading it for the 2nd or 3rd time! Rick Riordan does not disappoint. As the son of the Greek god Poseidon and a mortal, Percy Jackson is not like other 15 (almost 16) year old New Yorkers. As the battle against the Titan Kronos and his army escalates, Percy and his friends must defend Manhattan against monsters, Titans and other half-bloods or see the entire world fall apart. But no pressure. Full of action-packed excitement, humor and charm, this final book will satisfy fans. That is until they realize it's over. Take heart though, Riordan says "as the first Camp Half-Blood series draws to a close..." so it seems safe to say we may expect more to come.
