Helped me decide. Had useful details. Adult Written by Help Provider March 8, Adult Written by Julia13 April 23, Entertaining and Educational Percy Jackson is a serious of fantasy novels that are suited for many ages. Elementary aged children may need assistance in reading these novels.
These novels are about half-bloods which are people who are half-human and half-gods and all the obstacles or evil creatures they have to face. In The Last Olympian Percy Jackson and other half-bloods have been in constant preparation for their battle against the Titans.
The evil Kronos recruits a very powerful army of gods and half-bloods in order to attack the unguarded Mount Olympus which stands in New York City.
The reviews for this novel were very positive for the most part. These reviews displayed that this novel was captivating and emotional. These novels would be great for children because it explores mythical creatures and dives into the challenges that the characters have to face. The obstacles presented in the novel are not typical problems that we would have to go through but it demonstrates resilience and how to problem-solve which is important for students to learn.
This can be integrated into the curriculum by reading a few chapters a day and having the child free write about their feelings or how to overcome the battles faced in the novel.

You always have to see the positive things. In fact it Grover cradled his laurel sapling in his hands. Run away? That one hurt. Sexy red haired beautiful maidens that seem to be interested in your boy are definitely vexing and sort of bound to get on your nerves.
Add the apocalypse into the mix and you have a truly pissed off Annabeth. Talk about a solid recipe for disaster! I stared at him. Always stealing celery from defenceless satyrs!
Did I already mention that they are led by Kronos himself? Always those rumours I already told you our heroes got their priorities straight! Hell Hades, that was so cleverly done I can only take my hat off to Uncle Rick! Brilliant, just brilliant! Also Clarisse going all Achilles on the drakon equivalent of Hector that killed her was epic!
I have escaped Tartarus. You have no business here, and no chance to live. Wake me up later. This was such a fun ride and a worthy ending for a clever series! Well, what are you waiting for?!
Go grab it! Happy reading! This better be a happy ending though, because I really need one right now!!! View all 20 comments. Jun 02, Mark Lawrence rated it it was amazing. This is the 5th Percy Jackson book I've read to my daughter Celyn.
It's half-term and we've not had many carers Celyn is very disabled and gets respite care so we've had a chance to finish the book off. As always Celyn has supplied the rating and left the review to me.
The concluding well - we could go to book 4. We've followed Percy from a lad of ish to his 16th birthday, so girlfriends are up for debate too and both Rachel and Annabeth are in the frame. The Greek pantheon are a great choice for these sort of books as even in the oldest of writings there's very little about them that's godly except for their power. Their pettiness and bickering provide endless opportunities for conflict and plotting even without the resurgence of their titanic forebears.
The final battle is a colossal affair that occupies most of the book. The variety of monsters and weapons keep the thing from getting repetitive and I had a good time reading it. The ending is satisfying with elements of tragedy mixed into the victory. Job well done. Riordan not only draws on the myths for monsters, gods, demigods, heroes, and bits of plot in overt ways but also in unacknowledged ways that are fun for those who have read the source material. For example, the incident from the Trojan war with Achilles and Patroclus is played out in a similar manner at one point by two female characters.

Yeah, of course I'm fine!!! Why wouldn't I be???!?! View all 5 comments. Watching the Olympus, the eternal city, shining above the empire states building. Why I love Percy or main Heroes in general ; because He they knew this dangerous plan needed to be done, even though he was afraid. I really admired that. Sometimes, these feelings were coming along with crying.
I mean I even didn't know these guys, they just came in this book well, except Leneus who was a jerk before too yet I cried. So much Laugh still so much Cry! I'll bet you 1,, dollars that this is gonna be the best Percy Jackson book! View all 29 comments. View all 14 comments. My favorite of the series for sure!
This is a great conclusion to the story, and definitely a book worth the build up of the rest of the series. It is so much fun to see how far our characters have come, and how big their fight really is. Absolutely fantastic. Easily my favorite book in the series! It wrapped up this series perfectly and gave hints to what would happen in the Heroes of Olympus series!
I'm definitely a little in love with Percy now and have a total girl crush on Annabeth and those last couple of pages killed me in a good way. I'm so glad I finished this series and I can't wait to start the Heroes of Olympus next year! View all 9 comments. Man, I loved this series so much! View 1 comment. View 2 comments. I swear those days when I was in reading slump, I felt hollow, empty and I didn't know what to do and I was frustrated a bit for not being able to read like I usually did and thank God, this book was the book which got me out of my slump.
When I read this book, I didn't feel excited or surprised or anything even when I didn't expect something to happen but it wasn't a bad read either. Reading slump sucks! This series isn't my favorite but and my favorite book in this series is just the first book because it was so amazing and I loved it but the next books were just okay. Honestly, I continued reading this series because of the writing style. They then set Greek Fire explosives in the engine room. Percy leaves the room to distract the monsters on the ship, telling Beckendorf to meet him at the air pad.
Percy is captured and brought before Luke, who is now housing Kronos from the events of The Battle of the Labyrinth. The Titan duels Percy for the fun of it, and he mentions a spy in camp.
A few minutes later, Beckendorf appears. It is revealed that all the other explosives are already in place and there would be no time to escape the ship once they explode. This is realized by the enemy forces a moment too late as Beckendorf had made it look like he was only about to plant the bombs when he got captured.
He silently convinces Percy to flee, but Percy refuses to leave him behind. Suddenly, a dracanae notices the trigger on Beckendorf's arm. Beckendorf moves to detonate the bomb, leaving Percy no choice but to escape the ship. He jumps off and wills the currents to speed him away. The ship explodes, and Percy blacks out, thinking only of Beckendorf. Percy dreams as he drifts unconscious through the ocean.
His dream takes place on Mount Othrys during a conversation between Krios and Hyperion. The two Titans talk of their plans to destroy Olympus. After they conclude their conversation, the scene shifts. Percy sees Nico di Angelo eavesdropping on the Titans as well.
Percy realizes that he is in Poseidon 's kingdom and is being tended to by his half-brother, Tyson. Tyson then leads Percy to Poseidon's throne room, where he meets Poseidon's wife and godly son, Amphitrite and Triton , respectively. Poseidon then informs Percy that he is battling Oceanus. He confirms Percy's fears when he tells Percy that Beckendorf did not survive, but also reassures him that Beckendorf did not die in vain and that their little expedition had bought time for the Olympians.
Before he sends Percy on his way, he states that Percy must return to Camp Half-Blood to fulfill the rest of the prophecy. Though the campers are initially happy that the Princess Andromeda has been destroyed, they are distraught when Percy tells them of Beckendorf's sacrifice.
Later, the camp's war council convenes. Chiron asks Percy and Annabeth to retrieve the prophecy from the Oracle. When the two return, they find the war council in a state of chaos. Percy then proceeds to read the prophecy — which everyone now concludes to be about him — and realizes that no matter whose side he chooses to fight on, he will inevitably die. The other counselors realize this too, and sympathize with Percy. He brushes this aside and moves on to another matter: a spy in camp that Kronos had mentioned.
The counselors begin accusing each other of being the spy when Silena Beauregard , Beckendorf's girlfriend, silences them by reminding them that Beckendorf has died and all they can do is sit and squabble. Through Iris Message, Chiron then shows them that the finally free Typhon has been making his way toward an unguarded Olympus, even with the gods trying to stop him.
The night following the meeting, Percy dreams of Rachel. In his dream, Rachel looks over two photos she has recently drawn. The first is a picture of Luke when he was younger, and the second is a picture of Olympus surrounded by lightning and figures wielding weapons. The next day, Percy and Annabeth review the camp's cabins and the reports sent into the camp.
Percy then reveals that Grover Underwood has disappeared without a trace and that their Empathy Link is weakening. Annabeth tells him that the source of the fight between the Apollo and Ares cabins is a chariot that the Apollo campers took in a raid that the Ares campers led.
Needing a break, Percy wanders to the training arena to visit Mrs. O'Leary , his hellhound. When he arrives there, Ms. O'Leary runs into the forest, causing Percy to chase after her. He follows her to the clearing where the Lords of the Wild hold their meetings. Leneus initially refuses to help Grover, but is forced to by Percy. Nico tells him that he could have the same advantage. Percy hesitates, but Nico insists very fiercely, which is unlike him. Percy relents and they then travel together via shadow travel on Mrs.
O'Leary to find Luke's mother in order to discover Luke 's past. Percy and Nico arrive at Luke's mother's house in Westport, Connecticut and find that she is in a psychotic state. Castellan greets the two boys as Luke when they arrive. She then invites Percy and Nico to lunch with her. Percy and Nico discover that Luke ran away in order to protect his mother from the monsters that are constantly hounding him. They also learn that when he gave his body as a host for Kronos, he required his mother's blessing.
Disturbed, Percy and Nico say goodbye and run from the house to find that Mrs. O'Leary has been approached by the goddess Hestia. Hestia provides lunch for the boys and then tells Percy that no matter what side he chooses, he must remember her because she is the last Olympian. She goes on to explain that while all the Olympians are gone, she is the only one who remains for she is the goddess of the home. Hestia then sends Percy and Nico to Percy's own home where they are greeted by his mother, Sally Jackson , and Paul Blofis who finally believes Percy's mother about everything that has to do with the supernatural.
Percy and Nico tell her of their plan and she reluctantly gives Percy her blessing, and asks him to give her a signal if he does survive the war. Ready to carry out the plan, Nico and Percy shadow travel to Central Park to reach another entrance to the Underworld.
Suddenly, Percy feels Grover's presence and, uses his Empathy Link to awaken Grover out of a deep sleep. Grover then falls out of a tree near Percy and Nico.
