The Kane Chronicles series

Image
All you need to know about THE KANE CHRONICLES   Author : Rick Riordan   Twelve-year Carter and Sadie Kane don't seem like siblings. In fact, they're barely even friends, which might be due to the fact that they only see each other twice a year. Sadie lives in Britain with her grandparents, while Carter explores the world with his Egyptologist father, Dr Julius Kane.  But during one of their bi-yearly meetings, everything gets slightly complicated when their father blows up the British Museum and liberates four mildly annoyed gods and one murderously evil god from their confines. Confused? Well, to be honest, they have not quite understood it as well. But in a nutshell, Egyptian gods are alive and kicking, and they are really not the kind of people you would want to invite to your party.  And when their father releases the evil god Set from the clutches of his prison, Set banishes him to oblivion and forces the siblings to run for their lives.  After a...

Greek Gods and Greek Heroes by Percy Jackson

Image
All you need to know about PERCY JACKSON'S GREEK GODS AND   GREEK HEROES Author : Rick Riordan Percy Jackson's Greek Gods If you are a regular American demigod trying to stay alive everyday, and a publisher from New York approaches you and asks you to write a book/guide on Greek gods as you are supposed to be the expert, you can't exactly refuse. That's exactly what happened to Percy, and being the awesome and helpful demigod that he is, he agreed to write 'Percy Jackson's Greek Gods', an exclusive guide to Greek mythology, because Greek myths can be quite confusing and VERY weird. So, 'Percy Jackson's Greek Gods' helps you understand how the world began (according to Greek myth), how the first Greek Primordial deities were created, and stories on each of the Olympian gods and goddesses. If you are a Greek geek (hah!) and you feel like some details are missing, remember that this was written by a demigod with extreme  Dyslexia and ADHD. Reading c...

Camp Half-Blood Confidential and Camp Jupiter Classified

All you need to know about CAMP HALF-BLOOD CONFIDENTIAL AND CAMP JUPITER CLASSIFIED Author : Rick Riordan Camp Half-blood Confidential To begin with, Camp Half-blood Confidential is a guide. It is also the revised and MUCH better version of Camp Half-blood's orientation film. Why? you may ask. THAT, my friends, began on a regular campfire night, when Nico di Angelo unfortunately brought up the topic of the orientation film (and screeched   sang a song which resulted in all the campers getting creeped out). But no one had ever seen this supposed film, which led the campers to fetch the orientation film tape from Chiron's office. (hidden meaning: break into Chiron's office and steal the tape) Then, the campers settled down to watch the film with popcorn and other essentials, but by the time the film was over, the campers were scarred for life and everyone wanted to bleach their eyes. (A more dramatic account of this traumatizing incident and the identity of the cruel  ...

Riordanverse novellas

  All you need to know about RIORDANVERSE NOVELLAS Author : Rick Riordan  Demigod Files   The Demigod Files consists of short stories of Percy's adventures in the electrifying world of greek gods. The entire book comprises of three events which all happen before the events of the Last Olympian (book five of the Percy Jackson series), hence it is better for the reader to read this book before starting the Heroes of Olympus series. In the first story, Percy Jackson and the Stolen Chariot, Clarrise La Rue, daughter of Ares, has been assigned a quest to ride Ares's war chariot, which had been stolen by her immortal half brothers, Phobos and Deimos. In order to retrieve the chariot and restore it back to her father, Clarrise grudgingly accepts Percy Jackson's help to get back the chariot before dusk to avoid incurring Ares's wrath, but both heroes must face their worst fears in the process. In the second story, Percy Jackson and the Bronze Dragon, a game of capture-the-flag ...

The Magnus Chase series

Image
All you need to know about MAGNUS CHASE Author : Rick Riordan Magnus Chase's sixteenth birthday was the most weirdest birthday he had had so far‌‌. In fact, his past birthdays have not been the best in his memory, because they had all been celebrated on the streets of Boston for the past two years, ever since his mother, Natalie's death. Magnus had been living on the streets ever since, and had not expected this birthday to be any different from the rest of the days. He was fairly certain that today was going to be uneventful, just a regular day for a regular homeless guy. Boy, was he wrong. His day started going downhill from the moment he woke up. His friend, Blitz, kicked him awake and casually informed him that two people, a middle aged man and his daughter were handing out flyers with his name and picture. Uh oh.  When Magnus ventured to see who were the mystery people who were supposedly searching for him, he found out that it was his uncle Frederick and his cousin, *drum...

The Trials of Apollo series

Image
All you need to know about THE TRIALS OF APOLLO  Author : Rick Riordan The story takes place several months after the events of The Blood of Olympus. The god Apollo lands on a dumpster in New York City (he is, after all, the god of dramatic entrances). He vaguely remembers being cast out of Olympus by his oh-so-awesome father Zeus as a punishment for a bunch of stuff he wasn't even responsible for. The mighty Zeus proves to be Daddy of The Year once again! Much to his utter shock and dismay, Apollo realizes that he has been stripped off his immortality and given the identity of a mortal named Lester Papadopoulos (oh, the horror of the flab and acne!) and that in order to go back to his godly self, he must complete various trials and prove himself worthy. Then, as a couple of mortal thugs try to mug him, he is saved by Meg McCaffrey, a bossy and extremely   scary   aggressive teenager with a dark past, who claims Apollo's service and binds her to him, m...

The Heroes of Olympus series

Image
All you need to know about  THE HEROES OF OLYMPUS  Author : Rick Riordan  The story takes off a few months after the events of The Last Olympian and is based on the second Great Prophecy. Percy Jackson is missing, and three days after his disappearance, Annabeth Chase gets a vision from the Goddess Hera that the answer was at the Grand Canyon, where she will find a boy with one shoe. Full of hopes that she might find Percy at last, Annabeth sets to the Grand Canyon, where she finds Jason, the boy with one shoe, Piper Mclean and Leo Valdez, three Greek demigods. (or were they all greek?) Their protector, the satyr Gleeson Hedge was taken by wind spirits. A disappointed and EXTREMELY mad Annabeth escorts the three demigods to Camp Half-Blood, where the trio discover their godly parents and receive a quest to rescue Hera from danger.  As the threesome undertake a journey to free Hera from the Wolf House, they must also rescue Piper's father from the Giant Enceladu...

The Percy Jackson series

Image
All you need to know about PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS Author : Rick Riordan Percy Jackson, Twelve year old, was special. Or 'troubled' , as others suggested, which was probably why he was in Yancy Academy, a private school for troubled kids, which was his sixth school in six years. But when a field day to the Metropolitan Museum results in a very unusual encounter, Percy realizes that things are not what they seem. Something very strange is going on, something in which he unwittingly plays a major role in, according to his best friend Grover Underwood and his Latin teacher, Mr Brunner. Then as a vacation to Montauk Beach goes VERY wrong, Percy is taken to Camp Half-Blood, which is, supposedly, a camp for people like himself. There, Percy finds out the real truth about who he really is, and all the strange things that had been happening to him ever since he was born. And most importantly, he finds out the real truth about who his father was, or rather, is. And oh, Percy has...
