Do you like Greek Mythology? Here are some must read series.

1. Percy Jackson & The Olympians by Rick Riordan

Percy Jackson & The Olympians is a wonderful book with many adventures and life lessons. Percy is a normal kid, well, as normal as he can be with ADHD and dyslexia. His whole life changes when his best friend Grover shows up at his vacation house to tell him he is a satyr, and a Greek monster called the Minotaur start chasing him. This funny and exciting series tells the story of how Percy fights Greek monsters, and saves the world, making unexpected friendships on the way.

2. Heroes of Olympus by Rick Riordan

Heroes of Olympus is a continuation of Percy Jackson and the Olympians. In the first book, Jason finds himself at a school, with no memory of how he got there. He has a best friend and a girlfriend who he doesn’t even remember! This thrilling and humor filled book shows how Jason and his friends have to go on a quest, fight Greek & Roman monsters, and basically live a whole new life!!

3. Trials of Apollo by Rick Riordan

Trials of Apollo is an exciting book about the Greek God Apollo. Apollo is made mortal by his father Zeus because Zeus wants someone to blame for the rise of the earth Goddess Gaia. Apollo takes help from Percy Jackson and (feeling extremely awkward), his sons. This comical and adventure filled series is one you have to read!
