Heavens to Percy!
This is book four of the Percy Jackson series, with only one more installment to come. Readers from around ten years old will be thrilled by the adventures of the teenaged hero who just happens to be the son of Poseidon, God of the Sea, and all his friends, most of whom are the children of the Olympians from Greek Mythology.

In my opinion, it would be better if you read the series in order, and the three previous books are:

The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 1)
The Sea of Monsters (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 2)
The Titan's Curse (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 3)


In "The Battle of the Labyrinth", Percy and three friends set off on a quest through the treacherous labyrinth, in search of the inventor Daedalus, hoping that he will help them to defeat the army being assembled by Luke, son of Hermes. The thing is - Luke is just the messenger, and the evil he's about to unleash can bring down Olympus itself.

Although still clueless about girls and relationships, Percy starts developing and unleashing his powers, and surprises even himself when he attempts to repeat Hercules' great stable cleansing project. Other demi-gods also come into their own in book four, and a mortal girl proves to be just the ticket, and in the nick of time too. In a related sub-story, the search for Pan reaches an exhilarating climax.

Packed with monsters of all persuasions, gods and demi-gods, rescues, battles and side trips to Alcatraz and Mount St. Helens, this is by far the most exciting book of the series so far.

Amazingly imaginative, thrilling and funny, this series by Rick Riordan continues to be a front runner in children's fiction, and I recommend it without reservation.

the best of them all so FAR!!
i've been following the percy jackson books since day 1 i've even read the additional books and i must say that this is the most tense and exciting book of them all. although the lighting theif was a good way to bring in the idea of a camp for half-humans and half-GODS
this book has definatley taken the lead as the best 1 so far. i can't wait for the last olympian to come out next month.

Percy jackson rocks!!!!
My daughter thinks that percy jackson is really good. I have been told that this book has an exciting twist but altogether is not the best book in the series. In her opinion Percy seems to grow up to quickly and in doing so you dont really find have a twist like many writers do about Percy's past. Also inn saome places the storyline varys a little, in doing so making the plot a little hard to follow in places.
ALTOGETHER, THE CONCLUSION IS THAT PERCY JACKSON ROCKS!
Thank you to SJ 4 introducing percy jackson to me!!!!
