Jim's Review
🐛
Jim always felt a kinship with Percy — they're both underestimated little creatures with hidden powers. Riordan makes Greek mythology so fun and accessible that Jim nearly enrolled in Camp Half-Blood (they probably have a great compost heap). The humor is top-notch and the adventure never lets up. Four worms and a trident.
