The Last Olympian



By Rick Riordan
Disney-Hyperion Books
2009
381 pages
Reading Level:  7-8
Young Adult Fiction

 

This is the last installment of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.  The gods have called upon Percy's services yet again.  Percy and the other demigods have been making preparations for the upcoming battle with the long banished Titans who are led by the renegade demigod, Luke.  Percy and his friends have fortified New York City against the threat to the unsuspecting world of humans.

My rating for this book is excellent.  The charcters seem real, and the plot draws the reader in.  The themes of this book are courage, friendship, and loyalty.  For educational purposes, this would be a book that could be used when studying greek mythology.

  1. Great choice! My son loves the Percy Jackson series. He liked the movie as well--"The Lightning Theif." He is hoping the do more movies. He keeps trying to encourage me to read them. It is on my list, but I have an ever growing list of books to read and do not seem to have the time to do so. You know how that goes!
