This is a great book if you enjoy mythology and the Percy Jackson series. I personally enjoyed the Percy Jackson series more though.

What dangers do runaway demigods Luke and Thalia face on their way to Camp Half-Blood? Are Percy and Annabeth up to the task of rescuing stolen goods from a fire-breathing giant who doesn't take kindly to intruders? How exactly are Leo, Piper, and Jason supposed to find a runaway table, dodge a band of party-loving Maenads (who just might be a little psychotic), and stave off a massive explosion...all in one hour or less?
With his trademark wit and creativity, Rick Riordan answers these questions and more in three never-before-seen short stories that provide vital back-story to the Heroes of Olympus and Percy Jackson books. Original art, enlightening character interviews and illustrated profiles, puzzles, and a quiz add to the fun in this action-packed collection that is sure to delight legions of loyal fans.

This is a good book considering some side stories and even interviews of special characters,I recommend it.
This is a small conglomeration of never-before-seen demigod stories essential to the backstory of the Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus series! Luke Castellan's time on the run, Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase's seemingly impossible feats together, Jason, Leo, and Piper's adventures, and other character profiles and interviews will keep readers heckling to the very last page.
It is such a good book
The Demigod Diaries is filled with mini stories from each demigod, and has some of their backstories. Not only that, but it also has illustrations inside of how they look like. Overall, I enjoyed this book and I recommend it if you want to learn more about the characters in the Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus series. I rate this book 5/5.
You will find out background information the the Greek demigod series in this, Such as Luke. You find out the events of. What happened the night Grover led Luke, Thaila, and Annabeth to Camp half blood. You’ll find out other tales in this as well. BTW if you show a mortal this It’d be a guide on how to deal with poison ivy or something like that.
This book has several fun stories to go along with the Percy Jackson novels. Also, there are games and puzzles.
So I went to the library and I was going to start 'The Kane Chronicles' but they only had the first one so I got that and this book. I wasn't sure if I was gonna like it even though I'm a huge Percy Jackson fan but I got it anyways...and I LOVED it! WARNING: could be spoilers ahead.................(anddd start) The first part is called 'The Diary Of Luke Castellan' and it's about when Luke (son of Hermes) and Thalia (daughter of Zeus) are on an adventure to survive and then they meet Annabeth (daughter of Athena) who is it only 7 years old. Honestly Rick could have wrote a few books off that diary entry. The second part of this book is called 'Percy Jackson and the Staff Of Hermes' ok so this part of the book starts off with Percy and Annabeth are having a picnic then Hermes pulls up and gives Percy a quest to find his caduceus—his staff of power which has to snakes—george and martha wrapped around it. So they (percy and annabeth) go on an adventure to find it (and theres always a time-limit.) They fight a giant come back just in time and Hermes does Percy a favor that I'm not gonna spoil...so read the book 👍 the next part of the book is a short interview with George and Martha, Hermes snakes. The next story is called 'Leo Valdez and the Quest for Buford' this story (I'm gonna try not to spoil too much) ok so first Leo blames Windex for this entire story :) ok so basically Buford is a table, this table can move Leo is building something that needs a certain piece if that piece does not go on what he's building it will explode half of Camp Half-Blood...so Leo, Piper, and Jason all go through the woods and —————————i didn't want to spoil it sorry... Anyways the last story in the book is not written by rick Riordan but his SON Haley Riordan and all I could say about it was "WHERE IS THE SERIES FOR THIS STORY!?!?" no joke it's so amazing its called 'Son Of Magic' it starts of as a normal mortal (Dr. Claymore) who writes books about death (I'm pretty sure) anyways let's fast-forward ------------ Dr. Claymore meets Alabaster a magic half-blood that fought with kronos in the titan war. Anywaysss alabasters monster sister tries to kill him an dr. Claymore helps him. I don't wanna spoil anymore and I've been typing this for an hour so thanks for reading. This is an amazing book I 100% thank you! And good-bye ❤❤❤❤
......I think I might have typed to much....
Has cool stories about other demigods than Percy Jackson. Some have suspense and I think some stories have cliff-hangers. I rate 5/5 stars.
