This contains books recommended by the author of Percy Jackson. My favourites were the Aru Shah series, the Serwa Boateng series, and the Paola Santiago series. They all look at different mythologies, with the first one focusing on Indian myths, the second on Ghanaian fables, and the third on Latin American mythology. I have enjoyed reading these as they helped me learn about different cultures I had never heard of before, excluding the Indian myths.
