We’ve been doing a Percy Jackson reread as of late, and we thought we’d briefly go over which books we’ve finished so far.
We’ve completed The Lightning Thief and finished the three short crossover stories with the Kane Chronicles: The Son of Sobek, The Staff of Serapis and The Crown of Ptolemy.
The Lightning Thief – Percy Jackson Series
Percy Jackson has always drawn attention—by accident. At just 12, he has been kicked out of many schools. On a field trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, he runs into the Fury, Alecto, disguised as his maths teacher, Ms Dodds.
Also, his Latin teacher, Mr Brunner, is secretly the hero trainer, Chiron, and also his uncle… long story for another book. Oh, and his best friend, Grover, is a satyr, or as Annabeth, daughter of Athena, calls him, Goat Boy.
After Sally, Percy’s mother, is kidnapped by the Minotaur and taken to Hades in the Underworld, Percy, Grover, and Annabeth launch a mission to find her. Conclusively, they also hunt down Zeus’ master bolt, which Percy has been accused of stealing.
The Son Of Sobek
In the first short story Percy Jackson reread, The Son of Sobek, Carter Kane is in a bind. Though so is Percy Jackson. When the two come face-to-face, they hate each other despite being alerted to the same monster: a giant crocodile. Therefore, as the story plays out, they work together. Lastly, they become friends, learning that the crocodile is the son of Sobek.
The Staff Of Serapis
Next, our second Percy Jackson short story reread is The Staff of Serapis. A few months after Percy’s run-in with Carter, Annabeth runs into Sadie Kane, Carter’s sister, when she is attacked on a train by a two-headed beast looking for its third head.
Though unlike the boys, Annabeth and Sadie hit it off instantly and teamed up to defeat their enemy.
The Crown Of Ptolemy
In the final short story, The Crown of Ptolemy, Annabeth, Percy, Carter and Sadie join forces to prevent Setne, an Egyptian magician who dresses like Elvis, from becoming a god and absorbing goddesses along the way.
