After I finished reading Harry Potter and I was looking for something new to read, I saw the book Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. The book was about demigods - children of the gods of Olympus. So i thought I would give the book a try.
I'll tell you - I was hooked right away. I loved the books. In fact, I almost love them better than I do the Harry Potter series, which I adore.
[Similiarities
Child with black hair and green eyes
Prophecy
Two guys and a girl teaming up
Girl is the brains of the outfit
Blond guy who is enemy of main character
Not hard to see why I love the series, right?
Differences
Two series rather than one
Other kids get to 'save the day' in the books besides just Percy
One of the 'trio' is not a human
That being said, Harry Potter will always have a special place in my heart. But I'm definitely finding that there are other treasures out there to be found. :)
Anyone else read both series? Love to hear your thoughts!

Haven't read the Percy Jackson,since you said that it's a good one, I think I should add it on my next reading list.

You should. You'll enjoy it. I also recommend The 39 Clues.
