      For anyone passing through, this is book one in Percy Jackson and the Olympians young adult books. Basically the Greek gods are real and still exist in the modern world, and the demigods have to go on quests to save the world.

      There are multiple spin offs and they are fantastic. These ones are basically direct sequels to the Percy Jackson books:

      • Heroes of Olympus
      • Trials of Apollo
      • Percy Jackson and the Olympians (6&7). More books are coming out for these ones that continue the story, but now where Percy is in college. Books 1-5 written in the early 2000s are him as a kid/high schooler.

      I’ve only read these spin offs so far, and they are also great:

      • The Kane Chronicles (Egyptian gods)
      • Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard (Norse gods)

      There are other series he writes too, along with an imprint called Rick Riordan Presents where other starting authors can get imprinted and exposure - books that span many inclusive themes which is fantastic for diversity and inclusion.
