I figure that the reason they are my favorite books mostly is because I'm so into mythology and fantasy. In fourth grade I was bored with how I couldn't find any age appropriate books that I liked as much as J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter. Then we had our school Book Fair when my Mom got me The Lightening Thief. It had lots of humor, an interesting plot, and likable characters. Also, it ended up having nine books, The Lightening Thief, Sea of Monsters, Titan's Curse, Battle of the Labyrinth, The Last Olympian, Lost Hero, Son of Neptune, Mark of Athena, and the one thats coming out, The House of Hades.
The other series, The Kane Chronicles, has only three books, but hints at being continued.
I got into the Kane Chronicles when my Mom and Dad got it for me for my birthday because it was the same author. It's different enough and really humorous as well. It's in first person perspective of the two main characters, who are siblings, that alternates every two chapters. That layout was interesting to me, as I had never seen any book that did that before. Theres lots of action, cool characters, and a romantic subplot that doesn't take away from the main plot in the books, or distract you, which is nice.
