Depending on how you look at it, this is either book 1 of Rick Riordan's "Hero's of Olympus" series, or book 6 of the "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" series. Percy, Annabeth, and all the characters you fell in love with in The Lightening Thief, are all back, but with a Roman mythology twist that the gods didn't want you to see coming! It introduces a battle in which enemies must fight together to save earth...from Earth herself. (and there's a shiny, metal, flying dragon named Festus, who is pretty much awesome). Book one of five.

Seriously, some of the best character development and writing I have ever read. The real magic is in the friendships and life lessons that Harry faces as he grows from a preteen into a young adult. For parents who are hesitant about the darkness of the series, I personally (don't have to take my word for it) recommend having your teens read each book in the series to match their age with Harry's, book 1 when they're 11, book 2 when they're 12, etc. The only warning I would give: be careful when reading them yourself, because you'll be hooked!!! Book one of seven.
