The Last Olympian

In this thrilling finale to the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, Percy and his demigod friends face their greatest challenge yet: a full-scale war against the Titan Lord Kronos. With the Olympian gods battling the monster Typhon, it falls to the young heroes to defend Mount Olympus, now located above New York City. The book explores themes of sacrifice, loyalty, destiny, and the true meaning of heroism, culminating in Percy's sixteenth birthday prophecy. Parents should be aware of the increased violence and character deaths compared to earlier books, as the stakes are incredibly high. It's a deeply engaging read for middle-grade children, offering both high-octane action and profound emotional depth.
