Thank you so much for replying! I will be digging through your reviews. :)

Hi @Sarah Bennett, I'm a high school library tech. I've found that students who love Percy Jackson also really enjoy Lalani of the Distant Sea by Erin Kelly, Fablehaven by Brandon Mull, Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger, The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, and you might check out Rick Riordan Presents which has lots of books in a similar vein to Percy Jackson written by different authors exploring different mythologies. For older YA I've noticed Lore by Alexandra Bracken can't stay on the shelf, Lore Olympus (tw: for Rape,) is an incredibly popular web comic that my students rave about, and while not fantasy, Skyward by Brandon Sanderson has that found family vibe with lots of humor. Hope this gives you at least a starting place!

Hi, Rosemary! Thank you so much for these recs. I love The Graveyard Book and Lore Olympus. I will be checking out the rest soon!

Rick Riordan Presents books are really good too!

I came here to say what Maya said! There are soooo many and they're all great!
