About Percy Jackson, I have this to say: DO NOT WATCH THE MOVIES! The books are infinitely better thanks to the brilhant humor and in depth undertanding that the author has of greek mythology. My sister (Who's a teacher) is currently having her kids read "Percy Jackson" right after they read "The Hunger Games" I read the later as I enjoy those types of stories like: "Battle Royale", "The Long Walk", "Lord of the Flies", but I passed over the former and unfortunately decided to watch the movie instead which unfortunately turned me off the Percy Jackson books... (The movie just made it seem... lacking in a sense.)
