(3) 4-6 Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. Adapted by Robert Venditti. Illustrated by Attila Futaki. Color by Jose Villarrubia. This graphic novel introduces Percy, half-human son of Poseidon, and Camp Half-Blood, a haven for young demi-gods. Jackson devotees may lament the absence of some scenes, but the spirit of the novel holds up well. The precise timing of panels lends extra oomph to punch lines and action scenes, while settings spanning multiple panels or full pages suggest the epic scale of Percy's quest.
