He is almost eight and English is really not his mother language (just as he was getting started speaking, we moved to China for several years and has been playing catch-up since we moved back for him to start 1st grade.) He loves TV and movies and so we've made him a deal, if there is a book for the movie, if he reads the book first, we'll take him to see the movie. With the movie for the first book in this series just coming out, we figured this would be a great chance for us to try out this new deal we made with him. This has been the greatest thing we have done in the last year to help give him more confidence in reading and find a greater love for reading. He burned through the first book in 2 hours (yes, a bit too fast, but surprisingly he still got about 70% of it--his Mom is making him write a book report, so he had to re-read it so he can write a decent book report--then his mom will let him see the movie.) He's also already burned through the second book and is working on the third one now. Its funny that he complained about reading through other books, saying the names were hard to read or remember, but he's had no problem with this one. It shouldn't surprise me though, he's memorized almost every dinosaur name there is and recognizes each one, so if children REALLY want to, they can read anything they want--it comes down to an interest factor. I hope that these books have given him the passion to continue reading and open up a whole new world of books for him. Personally, I have read the first two books too so that I can talk about them with him and make sure he is really understanding them. In general, they are a pretty fast read, don't get dull very much. I have heard others say that the characters haven't been developed well, but honestly, for the age group these were written for, I think its perfect. Kids at this age can still have attention issues and I think this book does great at keeping the readers interested in reading on. As a parent, I highly recommend this book to any parent with children in the 8-12 age group that are looking for some good summer reading for their kids. We have the first three book, we'll be looking for the other two as well as other series by this author. Review: Percy Jackson Box Set - I picked this set up mainly because it was a great deal for the first three books in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. I figured it would be an economic way to check out a series that's gotten a lot of popularity. This set is, simply, an amazing buy, and can't be beat at $11. The books in the set are: -Percy Jackson and the Olympians #1: The Lightning Thief -Percy Jackson and the Olympians #2: The Sea of Monsters -Percy Jackson and the Olympians #3: The Titan's Curse Each book in the series is a contained adventure, but also part of a larger plot line that continues through the five books. I've reviewed each book separately; the reviews can be found on my profile/website if you're curious. The basic idea is that Percy Jackson is a young demigod, half human and half Greek god. He is the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea. He grows up over the course of the books, starting at age 12 and finishing at 16. Percy's life is full of adventures and dangers, as he often heads off on quests to save his friends or Camp Half-Blood, sanctuary of the demigods. In "The Lightning Thief," Percy and his friends must find Zeus's stolen lightning bolt. In "The Sea of Monsters," they hunt for the Golden Fleece. And in "The Titan's Curse," the young demigods search for a missing friend as well as the Greek god Artemis. Percy Jackson and the Olympians is an outstanding series, one that I will be rereading often. Riordan's writing is witty, humorous, educational, fun, etc.; these are great books for kids and parents to read together. 5/5. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #165,811 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #36 in Children's Greek & Roman Tales & Myths #508 in Teen & Young Adult Sword & Sorcery Fantasy #622 in Children's Action & Adventure Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (3,422) | | Dimensions | 5.19 x 7.63 inches | | Edition | 33916th | | Grade level | 5 - 9 | | ISBN-10 | 1423113497 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1423113492 | | Item Weight | 1 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 1032 pages | | Publication date | September 16, 2008 | | Publisher | Hyperion Book CH | | Reading age | 9 - 12 years, from customers | ## Images ![Percy Jackson and the Olympians Paperback Boxed Set (Books 1-3) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81FSZ7DEEaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful series, finally, something my son was able to get in to! *by J***N on March 24, 2010* My wife and I have been struggling to find something for my son to read that he could actually get interested in...since blowing through his Magic Tree House series.

The TV series spoils anything worth being invested in, and leaves no stakes in the episodes. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1203967-percy-jackson-and-the-olympians-paperback-boxed-set-books-1](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1203967-percy-jackson-and-the-olympians-paperback-boxed-set-books-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
