Percy Jackson and The Olympians--Part 1 (Book 1~3)

     Well, after publishing few posts regarding mythology, I suppose it's time to introduce my steppingstone to the mythology field---The Percy Jackson and The Olympians series. This series of novels have five volumes in total, which are: The Lightning Thief (book one), The Sea of Monsters (book two), The Titan's Curse (book three), The Battle of The Labyrinth (book four) and The Last Olympian (book five). Each book, from book one to four, is about a quest that Percy went on (even though sometimes he wasn't permitted to go). As to the last volume, it is the exciting ending of Percy Jackson's adventures and the completion of the Great Prophecy. According to my personal experience, this series won't give you a moment to catch your breath once you have started reading. So now, fasten your seat belt and get ready for an adventure!
     Book one: The Lightning Thief

     Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is in trouble again. This time, it's not just about getting kicked out of boarding school again. The gods and monsters in Greek mythology seem to walk straight into Percy's life and what's worse, he is regarded as a thief by some of them. Soon, with the new identity he just received---The son of Poseidon, Percy started his quest with two other friends that heads to the Underworld to find out the true thief of Zeus's lightning bolt and bring it to Mount Olympus before the gods wage a three-way-war on each other...

     Book two: The Sea of Monsters
     Returning to Camp Half-Blood as a hero from last summer's quest, Percy found his favorite camp, as well as the only safe heaven for demigods, in grave danger. The magical borders that shield the camp have been poisoned by a mysterious enemy. Nevertheless, the new activities director, Tantalus, seems at ease with this terrifying situation. Unless the campers find a way to solve this problem, the mythological monsters could march straight through the borders and into the camp anytime. And the ones who set out for the cure of the poison must sail through the Sea of Monsters, the same sea which Odysseus, Jason, Aeneas and all the other heroes have sailed through...
     Book three: The Titan's Curse
     When Percy Jackson and his friends receive an urgent distress call from their friend Grover, they got themselves ready in no time.  This rescue mission was supposed to bring two new powerful demigods safe to Camp Half-Blood, yet the heroes didn't know they have just fallen prey to the Titan lord Kronos' devious trap. The original rescue mission took a sudden turn and now Percy's friend Annabeth along with the goddess Artemis were both missing. The  Hunters and the campers soon form a quest team (which, of course, didn't include Percy) to search for Artemis. Sensing something wrong, Percy secretly followed the quest team on their quest with the hope of finding his lost friend, Annabeth...
