Harry Potter Series

L:
The Harry Potter series is basically a series of books and movies telling of a boy who struggles with friends, has no parents, has a pair of evil relatives, and at the same time has an arch nemesis plotting to kill him. There are seven books in the series and all of them are well written and deserve to be read by all. Harry goes through many hard experiences and keeps pushing through all of it. At the end a sudden twist will shock you. Harry confronts his enemy bravely and is not afraid to stand up to the bully. With many deaths, love, violence, friendship and drama, this is a great series that every teenager will want to read one day in there life. I would rate this series an overall four-and-a-half stars.

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

L:
The first book of Percy Jackson and the Olympians is a great kickoff for a series about the demigods and the Olympians. the book is a story of love, friendship, and great battles. Basically the son of Poseidon is blamed by Zeus, the almighty ruler of Olympus, for stealing the master bolt. Though percy did not steal the bolt, he is given 14 days to return it to Zeus. This book is filled with epic adventures and will leave you on the edge of your seat the whole time. Overall I would rate this book four stars.
