Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Pathfinder

Percy is still up to his half-thought out tricks and has now gained enough confidence to get himself in trouble. There's plenty of action and fighting with good descriptions that make the scenes real in a middle-schooler's mind, but by now we're starting to see the pattern--Percy gets kicked out of a school, has to save the camp, fights lots of monsters and postpones the destruction of the world. As repetetive as it is, his telling of events always comes across as honest and sincere as only a kid who struggles through school can be.
