I loved this book! It was humorous, action-packed, and ended well while leaving room for story expansion. You can tell the writing style was intended for children, but I loved it just the same.

I love greek mythology and I’d heard such praise about PJ that I had high hopes for the series. Did not deliver. Much sad.

I first read this over 10 years ago as a child, around the same age as Percy, and I decided to reread it before watching the new series on Disney+. I am so glad I reread it!! It was honestly so much better than I remember, and I actually forgot a lot of what happened in the book, so in some aspects, it was like reading it for the first time! Just absolutely wonderful, and has made me fall in love with this series all over again!

I'm so glad I went back to read this. As an AuDHD adult, this is exactly the kind of story I wish I had access to as a kid. A super fun read and action packed, and also gave me the representation I always wanted!
