The Battle of the Labyrinth is a must read!!!

As a middle school teacher I highly recommend to all teachers and students the 4th book in the Percy Jackson series: Battle of the Labyrinth. For all those who like mythology this is a must read.

Heavens to Percy!

This is book four of the Percy Jackson series, with only one more installment to come. Readers from around ten years old will be thrilled by the adventures of the teenaged hero who just happens to be the son of Poseidon, God of the Sea, and all his friends, most of whom are the children of the Olympians from Greek Mythology.

In my opinion, it would be better if you read the series in order, and the three previous books are:

The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 1)
The Sea of Monsters (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 2)
The Titan's Curse (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 3)

In "The Battle of the Labyrinth", Percy and three friends set off on a quest through the treacherous labyrinth, in search of the inventor Daedalus, hoping that he will help them to defeat the army being assembled by Luke, son of Hermes. The thing is - Luke is just the messenger, and the evil he's about to unleash can bring down Olympus itself.

Although still clueless about girls and relationships, Percy starts developing and unleashing his powers, and surprises even himself when he attempts to repeat Hercules' great stable cleansing project. Other demi-gods also come into their own in book four, and a mortal girl proves to be just the ticket, and in the nick of time too. In a related sub-story, the search for Pan reaches an exhilarating climax.

Packed with monsters of all persuasions, gods and demi-gods, rescues, battles and side trips to Alcatraz and Mount St. Helens, this is by far the most exciting book of the series so far.

Amazingly imaginative, thrilling and funny, this series by Rick Riordan continues to be a front runner in children's fiction, and I recommend it without reservation.

Keep on coming...

The Percy Jackson series just keeps getting better and better. The Battle of the Labyrinth is another one of Rick Riordan's timeless and captivating novels. For me the book has become a very easy read since i'm getting older but i still find this novel worthy of reading. 5 stars! One of my favorite books....

Teacher's Grade: A, Parent's Grade A+

There is nothing to dislike about this 4th entry in the Percy Jackson series. The action, dialogue, suspense, and humor are plentiful. The mixing of ancient gods with current culture is well-done and insightful.

Best of all, everyone in my family plowed right through the book and had some great conversations about the situations and problems that arose.

Read this instead of seeing Prince Caspian at the multiplex.

My Son LOVES this Author

I'm a Mom of 4 and trying to find books that interest each child has been difficult. The Rick Riordan books have captivated my 11 year old son for quite some time now. We find ourselves waiting until the next one is to be ordered. Rick Riordan brings the Greek Gods to modern day earth. My son now is very captivated with learning about mythology as well. This book definately is a spark for boys.
