Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Chalice of the Gods (Percy Jackson & the Olympians)

The sixth book in the Percy Jackson series (The Chalice of the Gods), follows Percy as he is getting older (a senior in high school!) and thinking about going to college. Percy faces challenges related to what he needs to do to make it to college (recommendation letters, etc.), as well as what he’s used to – facing and challenging Greek gods in New York City. Throughout his challenges, Percy learns to appreciate it all as he isn’t getting any younger and can’t go back in time to do things he used to enjoy (hanging out with friends, having family dinners, etc.).

There is much excitement in The Chalice of the Gods as Percy is dealing with happenings in both his life with his friends and alongside otherworldly beings. Readers don’t have to have read all of the previous books, but the more you read the easier it will be to understand. There is not much inappropriate in the story, but instead shows a lot of Percy being a kid while facing off against some crazy creatures and angry gods.
