Topic: fans of Percy Jackson


If you like Percy Jackson, try these…

The Percy Jackson books by Rick Riordan form a multi-million-selling series that has also been televised with Disney and is hugely popular in Key Stage 2 among fans of action and adventure. Percy Jackson’s modern world is turned upside down when he finds out he is descended from Greek gods. What follows is battles with monsters and epic quests in an action-packed series that merges Greek mythology with the modern world.

We’ve compiled a list of ten similar books for fans of the Percy Jackson books. Readers who love mythical beasts and fantastic creatures might enjoy trying Skandar and the Unicorn Thief or Katherine Rundell’s Impossible Creatures and those who are inspired by Percy Jackson to get stuck into more Ancient Greek mythology might like Tales of the Greek Heroes or Who Let the Gods Out.

Readers looking for another collectable action series after Percy Jackson should try the Artemis Fowl books or Michelle Paver’s prehistoric Wolf Brother series. For more quests and battles of good-versus-evil in different cultural settings, visit Ancient China with the Dragon Mountain books or explore West African mythology with Cameron Battle and the Hidden Kingdoms.
