"Percy Jackson is a good kid, but he can't seem to focus on his schoolwork or control his temper. And lately, being away at boarding school is only getting worse - Percy could have sworn his pre-algebra teacher turned into a monster and tried to kill him. When Percy's mom finds out, she knows it's time that he knew the truth about where he came from, and that he go to the one place he'll be safe. She sends Percy to Camp Half Blood, a summer camp for demigods (on Long Island), where he learns that the father he never knew is Poseidon, God of the Sea."
GoodreadsI sped through the Percy Jackson series two summers ago. I'd had lots of people recommend them to me and they definitely lived up to the hype. Percy is one of the best main characters of a young adult book series I've ever read about. The Greek mythology aspect is amazing and the books only get better as the series goes on.
