This series has been very popular at my high school and I finally figured out why. In a Harry Potter-ish way, Percy Jackson is the young, 12-year-old hero that everyone loves. He suffers from ADHD and gets kicked out of every boarding school he attends. But he finds out why. Percy is the son of a Greek god. I know, you're thinking, yeah right, but the author really makes this storyline work. Percy battles demons, other half-bloods, his step-dad, himself, and all sorts of creatures while trying to figure out who he is. Little details make this book awesome. Mt. Olympus is in NYC and the entrance to hell is in Los Angeles. You can't beat the fight scene at the St. Louis arch either. This is the first title in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, so get ready to read the next two books (4th one is coming)!
