The Percy Jackson and the Olympians Set (Paperback)
Lightning Thief / The Sea of Monsters / The Titan`s Curse Percy Jackson And the Olympiansby Riordan, Rick
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 theGolden 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...

Customer Reviews
This series is a romp of pure adventure and fun. Lots of action to keep readers turning the pages and similar to the Harry Potter series I finish one book and wanted to begin the next right away. Suspend reality and enjoy!
I bought these for my grandson's birthday which is in Aug. I did show him the books and he was really excited about them. I may let him start with one now and give this the rest on his birthday.
My niece loved this set of books I gave her for a Christmas present. The boxed set made a great gift!

My son asked for this series because he read the second in the series. Prior to this, ask him to read? He refused to read a magazine. This series of books has transported my son's imagination through Greek Mythology, and into the available character's which Mr. Riordan has provided him. My son, 13, received the series less than a month ago, and has finished two of the books. I purchased the three set, and a hardcover, to push his interest. Thank you Mr. Riordan. A true dream come true.
