Nutmeg's Recomendations

Hey, So at school we were asked to do a character analysis and I did Percy Jackson cuz he's one of my favourite characters (Other than Annabeth and Leo). Ana Because Rick Riordan (My favourite Author) has released Percy Jackson's Greek Myths (or Gods - can't remember) just last week I'm doing a post about some of my favourite books

First up is Percy Jackson. No surprise there. Percy Jackson tells the story of Percseus Jackson, a kid with ADHD and Dylexia. Percy, as he is known as, has a reputation for being a Trouble Maker. The series starts off as 12yr old Percy faces one of his first monster battles. I won't spoil it but we can infer that in Titan's Curse and Battle Of The Labyrith he is 14 because they are the winter and summer of that year and because at the end of BOTL Percy turns 15. The last book, The Last Olympian, he turns 16. You will find this Book in the R (Riordan) section

 

The Next is The Heroes of Olympus Series, the follow up of Percy Jackson. This series brings in Jason, Piper, Leo, Hazel and Frank as the new great prophecy is set in motion. The first book (The Lost Hero) you met Jason, Piper and Leo and Coach Hedge. Jason has no memories and Leo and Piper have false memories of him because of Hera. Percy is missing and Annbeth is a minor character in this book. Hazel and Frank are introduced in the second book (Son of Neptune). Percy has no memories and is headed for Camp (Not Camp Half Blood, mind you). At the end of the book, They are seen headed for a ship. The thrid book (Mark of Athena) picks up in Annabeth's pov (point of view for all you non writers) just before Percy, Hazel and Frank met them. The end is pretty much the worst ending of Rick's. It's dreadful - if you haven't alreay read this series you're lucky that you didn't have to wait a whole year. The 4th book (House of Hades) picks up from there. Blood of Olympus is coming out in just over a month.


 it looks awesome doesn't it *fangirling*

The Hunger Games is a pretty good series. This book has been made into a moive with #3 coming out soon. Unfourtunly I haven't seen the movies yet but the Hunger Games is permering on TV tonight so I can't recomend it. That reminds me, even if it's slightly off topic, The Percy Jackson Movies are okay but they are filled with mistakes. Anyway, back to the point. The Hunger Games is revoled around Katniss Everdeen. She and her family live in District 12 in a furture world. Every year two kids are sent to the hunger games to go against 22 other people from the 11 other districts. When Katniss' little sister is reaped, Katniss takes her place, vowing to come home. The other kid chosen is Peeta. Peeta hides a dark secret. He loves Katniss

Divergant is a series which is taking the world by storm. I have read them all are they are pretty good but I say they are for more mature aduidances. This trilogy revoles around Tris Prior, her world,where fractions defind who you are, is falling apart. It's a good read and the movie is pretty actrute btu that's because the author is actually one of the producers.'

My final recomendation is the Ranger's Aprrentic series. My friend has recently introduced me to this series and it's really good. This series consist of 12 books which revole around Will, a orphan who was left at Castle Redmount since he was baby. When he is chosen by Halt, the feif's ranger, as his apprentice, Will is sure and does whatever he can to please him. Books 1-4 and 7 are stories of his apprenticeship to Halt. Books 5-6 and 8-12 are after he has come a graudiate Ranger with his own feif. Because the events of book 7 happen before 5+6 I recomend that you read that one first as it will make much more sense. Unfourtunly I'm only up to the 6th book (I've already read the 7th) so I don't really know much about this series. Some of the other characters are Alyss (his childhood wardmate/ best friend), Horace (An old friend from when they were both Wards, but they weren't really as close as they are now),  Gilan (Halt's former apprentice before Will, he and Gilan are good friends and have been on assiments together) and Halt (He plays a major part in this series, duh)

That's all folks. Nutmeg signing off
