There are seven books in this Greek
mythology based series. All the books are un-put-downable.
Broadly the series is about Camp Half-Blood
training to fight Kronos.
Camp half-blood is where half-bloods,
i.e. half gods and half mortals stay. These people are so because one of their
parents is God and the other is a normal mortal. These half-bloods cannot stay
in normal places with regular mortals as they attract monsters.
Kronos is the father of three
Gods Posieden (God of Sea), Zeus (God of Sky) and Hades (God of the underworld).
Kronos had eaten Posieden and Hades but then the mother could stop hime from
eating Zeus. Kronos now wants to destroy all the Gods and rule Olympus , the place
where all gods live. Kronos is immortal and therefore upon being defeated and
killed he takes other forms and reappears.
It’s a fabulous way of learning mythology. Mostly children
think mythology is boring, but Rick Riordan makes it really exciting. You will
learn about the names and characteristics of different gods, some great stories
like that of ‘Achilles’, dangers of underworld, the beauty of friendship and so
many other things.
