系列特色

★豐沛的「想像力」是一切創意的源頭：
　　哈利波特作者J.K.羅琳在哈佛大學演講時曾說：「世界不見得需要魔術來改變，但適度的想像力是非常重要的……」〈波西傑克森〉運用了希臘神話帶給讀者的無限「想像空間」和「力量感」，將故事設定在現代，以節奏明快、角色鮮明、幽默、驚奇、懸疑的流暢敘事手法，將讀者帶進欲罷不能的奇幻冒險文學饗宴中。
 
★透過閱讀培養「人格力」：
　　波西傑克森在凡人和眾神的世界裡，一路驚險穿梭進出，追尋自我認同。旅程中一路伴隨著親情的溫馨、牽絆與割捨，朋友間的信任與背叛，面臨險惡處境時的勇氣與膽識，還有戰爭與夢想、正義與邪惡……年輕讀者從中看到了冒險犯難、勇於追夢、正直仁厚的英雄人格特質。
 
★輕鬆享受精采小說，涵養新時代少年「文學力」：
　　〈波西傑克森〉系列不只是好看的奇幻小說，也是輕鬆了解希臘神話的最佳入門。神話是西洋文學的核心源起，除了豐富奇詭的幻想及對人生問題的探索外，也反映了早期人類對自然的觀念，可說是人類文化的重要遺產。本書以高明的創作手法和情節設計，將個性鮮明的小說人物與神話角色做了最巧妙的融合與描繪，趣味十足且深刻淋漓，大大激發讀者對希臘神話的好奇和進一步了解探究的動機，確是涵養新時代少年「文學力」的最佳敲門磚。
