It is nice to be able to enjoy some Percy Jackson books where the stakes are not so high. Sure, there is the risk of death from monsters. But, "forgetting kiss anniversary" is more important than saving the world. The stories range among a number of topics. Some provide backstory for characters in the novels. My favorite was just a fun romp. Hermes asked Percy to retrieve his staff. They battle a giant to get it back. However, the giant is not familiar with how to use it and is just as likely to send out credit card receipts as he is to use a laser gun. The snakes also provide some comic relief. And in the end Percy resolves the "dating" issue with Annabeth.
