It doesn't take much to make a Rick Riordan book a big seller, as this slim but entertaining-for-fans volume proves. Pick it up for car trips when it's hard to concentrate on a real story, but don't have high expectations. Readers of the Trials of Apollo series that this volume complements have usually already read the other Percy Jackson series -- plural -- and know all about what's at camp, who they wish their godly parent was, and why they'd love to go there. The laughs at Apollo's showboating are fun, but the fun is over quickly.

For much meatier reads -- that are admittedly way too big for car trips -- try Riordan's excellent and well-researched Percy Jackson's Greek Gods and Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
