I really enjoyed the graphic art style as well. I thought this story was super well paced and really was captured by the art. It flashed me back to this world and was nice way to remind me of the story. It was a book that I was able to fit in one siting. I really liked seeing this story presented. I noticed some smaller changes from the original text but def would keep reading these graphic novels! I thought this was such a fun graphic novel retting this story.

I noticed some smaller changes from the original text but def would keep reading these graphic novels! I have ventured lately into graphic adaptations of classic YA novels. Until this one, I had read the originals, but this one I haven’t read. I can only imagine the narrative in the original novel is much fuller than this graphic version, which probably accounts for its popularity. I went through this pretty quick, and despite my abiding love for Classical mythology, it didn’t really grab me. It felt like there were chunks missing, and in some spots there were just series of wordless panels depicting action sequences. But the art style is quite dark at times, and I found some of the illustrations unclear, so I got a bit lost. The story is pretty straightforward—I was often reminded of Harry Potter and even the tales of Tolkien, not to mention countless superhero comics and movies. I’m glad I read this though, if just to show myself that I didn’t miss much, not reading this book series. no reviews | add a review

2.This book goes through a narrative of Percy Jackson the son of Posiden. He didn't know who I=his dad was and why he had so many issues with dyslexia and paying attention in class. He later is in peril and has to go to a camp to help keep him safe. He arrives at camp not knowing what it is and who his dad is. He then goes on a big adventure to try and clear his name.
3.I will definitely recommend this book in the future to my students. I will also recommend the non-graphic novel version. I could maybe use this as a lesson on the differences between formats.
