I read the last Percy Jackson book for my book report, in the cource of the book Percy has changed a lot, in the first one Percy was afraid to even face a small monster, in the last one he's brave enough to fight Kronos the Titan Lord. I think Percy is brave to be able to do all the stuff he does, like fighting monsters, and flying on a pegasus. He's not so sure of himself, he does all this stuff but is never sure if he can do it or not, if he's going to live or not, and weather or not he's going to pass the time when he turns sixteen. He likes to have help whenever possible, sometimes he also wants it when he has to do it alone. Percy like to hang out with his friends Annabeth who is also a demigod and Grover who is a saytr, and throughout his days at Camp Halfblood he makes new friends. I think he might also be lonely because he is the only demigod son of Posideon the god of the sea, and the only child of the Big Three who is staying at the camp.
In the book Percy is having troubles becaus soon he's going to turn sixteen, and theres this prophesy that says when a child of one of the Big Three will choose weather or not the gods of Mount Olympus will live. During the time he still has left before he turns sixteen he goes on a mission with one of his favorite campers who's name is Bekondorf (thats his last name), and they get caught trying to blow up the enemy's ship. Later on Percy goes to the Underworld to visit his cousin Nico they both go to the River Styx to do something so that Percy can actually have a chance in a fight with Kronos, who has taken the body of one of Percy's previous friends Luke. After that Percy is learning stuff about Annabeth before she came to Camp Halfbood, like how she got to camp, how she got her combat knife, why she likes Luke so much, and why she' does not like cyclopes. Grover who was there when Pan the god of nature died, was also learning stuff, like this noise that will scare any enemy on the battlefield, and how to use his reed pipes to grow different kinds of magical plants.

Book report 3
I read Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Sea of Monsters, By Rick Riordan. Like in the first book Percy goes to a camp for half-bloods called Camp Half-Blood where demigods can train to fight and learn to be safe. Percy has green eyes which are an attribute of his father Poseidon who is the god of the sea. In this book Percy is more confident in himself and his new friends that he met the year prior to this story. Also in this friendship as they are fighting monsters they know each others moves so they can fight using each other. in the beggining Percy finds out that he has a half brother that has a little seceret, he's a cyclops. Now Percy has to take care of himself and his brother. When Percy gets a quest to go find his buddy Grover he takes his friend Annabeth and his newfound brother Tyson to save him. When they get close to the island that Grover's being held on they find another island where theres a lady who turns men into guinea pigs, and Percy gets turned into one. When I read that part I kinda laughed, it was funny.
I think the point of view was first person because whenever Percy talked it said nothing it only put it in quotations. I think that the point of view was chosen because Percy was the main character, it's called Percy Jackson, and the books are about him. If sombody other than Percy like Annabeth or Grover told the story you would have known what they were thinking at the time and not Percy. Like when Annabeth gets mad at Percy and he doesn't know why, you would know. And when Grover is freaking out and Percy doesn't know why, you would. Whenever Percy does somthing that he thinks was just fine sombody else like Ares, one of Percy's enemies, would think what he did was terrible. When you read a book that has more than one book in a series you get attached to the characters, so you kind of take sides with them, so if he or she doesn't like another person in the book niether do you. Also if sombody hurts them you're all like "why did he do that"? When there is a main character you like them and you know what they're thinking and you can tell what they're feeling and you feel that to.

Percy Jackson Book Report
I read Percy Jackson and the Olympians the Lightning Thief. Percy is a Halfblood, that means that he is half god half human, he is the only son of Poseidon, so he has some of the strongest godlike powers of all. Percy has dark hair and green eyes just like Poseidon. He has been kicked out of many different private schools over the years because he has a short temper, he also has dyslexia, and ADHD, the dyslexia is from knowing how to read Greek, and the ADHD helps him stay alert in a fight so that he doesn’t get hurt. Percy gets angry very easily, because when something that not all that bad happens he goes and gets angry for no reason, although one time it was because he was in the presence of Ares the god of war, other than that no reason. Percy kind of doubts himself sometimes throughout the book, because when the campers are playing capture the flag his team members send him to protect the boundary line, and he thinks he can’t do it. He’s also a good swordfighter because when he was fighting Ares he actually wounded him.
At first I didn’t think I would like this book I don’t know why though, but I liked it. I thought it was a good book but there’s a whole series and now I’m going to have the whole thing to find out how it ends! I would recommend this book to people who like adventure, fantasy, and suspense. The names of some of the characters reminded me of another book I’ve read in “Gregor the Overlander.” I liked the book so much I read it faster than a book that was less than two hundred pages and this one was a little less than four hundred and that’s a record time for a book that long. I liked this book way more than other books that I’ve read and I have read some weird books that I didn’t really like.
