How we scored them

The Shelf Score weighs performance, build, value, safety and warranty. For books, safety means the stated reading age matching the reader; all five state a reading age. None of the five states a warranty term, which is normal for books. How we pick explains the weights.

Scores run from 9.2 to 9.8: each book’s point total is placed on that range, so more points always means a higher score. Reading age or level counts on a list where at least one listing gives one, and a book whose listing gives none then scores zero on it. Where no listing gives one, the score is taken over the other 85 points. Books carry no warranty, so warranty is not scored.

How to choose the best books for percy jackson fans

Start with the series they have not finished

The 7-book hardcover collection covers the full Percy Jackson and the Olympians series at 2400 pages for ages 9 and up. The Heroes of Olympus boxed set continues the story at 3088 pages for ages 10 and up, grades 5 to 9. The 5-book set is the core series for readers who want the original five. Match the set to where the reader left off.

Check the reading age

The picks list ages from 9 and up to 12 and up. The Lightning Thief deluxe collector’s edition lists 12 and up, while the 7-book collection lists 9 and up. Demigods and Magicians lists 10 and up, grades 3 to 7. Use the listed age as a guide, not a rule.

Consider the format

Boxed sets give the whole series at once; the 7-book hardcover and the Heroes of Olympus paperback set are the two here. Single volumes like Demigods and Magicians at 224 pages suit a reader who wants a shorter crossover story. The deluxe collector’s edition of The Lightning Thief at 416 pages suits a fan who wants a keepsake. For more fantasy, see best fantasy books for teens.
