The Lightning ThiefLike this list

You'll enjoy these titles because: These series can be interpreted as coming-of-age stories encouraging exploring the unknown. The Lightning Thief is Percy's realization of his powers and a new (or technically old) magical world. In this journey, Percy and his friends use their bravery and kindness to fix the problems caused by evil forces and the past generations of demigods and gods. Books like The Hunger Games, The Maze Runner, and Six of Crows also contain themes of new generations rising up in a broken world, however, all three are unique in the ways that their worlds are shaped, and how the main characters of these series go about changing their worlds. The Lost Hero, The Hidden Oracle, The Sword of Summer, and The Red Pyramid are all penned by the same author as The Lightning Thief, tied to different sets of myths and characters fighting to save their magical worlds. Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Dragon Prince, and Gravity Falls share the themes discussed previously, however, most of these stories are in the format of animated television, with comic books such as Smoke and Shadow and Through The Moon serving as post-series or mid-series supplements to the main stories. The snarky, witty humor that makes The Lightning Thief an amazing read is present throughout the books from this list, and many fans of Percy Jackson also enjoy the franchises and universes these books are set in. These stories encourage bravery and wonder amongst young readers, captivating them with expert worldbuilding and writing, just as The Lightning Thief does.
