Book 26 - The Last Olympian

The Last Olympian by Riordan is the fifth and final book in the Percy Jackson series.  Under the sea Poseidon is engaged in a furious battle against the Titan Oceanus.  Hades, Demeter, and Persephone sit in Hades refusing to engage in battle despite all of the arguments of Nico.  The remaining gods are in battle against the monster Typhon as he rages across the continental US toward Mt. Olympus in Manhattan.  While they are engaged, Kronos launches his assault on Manhattan against the desperate struggles of Percy and the other demigods of Camp Half-Blood.  The final moment of the prophecy approaches when Percy turns 16 and must make a choice that will either save Olympus or bring about its downfall.

The final book of the Percy Jackson series is packed with non-stop action, heroics, friendship, and sacrifice and is I would say the best book in the series.  A fun light summer read for ages 12 and up.
