I know that lately I've been posting about Percy's second series, The Heroes of Olympus, but right now I'm going to go with Percy's starting book: Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief.
Percy Jackson at first started out as an ADHD and dyslexic person in class. He was considered trouble, and was in sixth grade. Did I mention he was on his sixth school by now?
It all started when his algebra teacher, Ms. Dodds, decided to become an ugly old bat winged hag. Percy's teacher, Mr. Brunner, threw a pen to Percy that was uncapped and the pen became a sword that vaporized his math teacher.
Then Percy's told that Ms. Dodds never existed.
This crazy start for Percy's life as a hero fuels his first book where he battles a lizard who uses beds to kill people, a gorgon who sells statues, and a Minotaur who abducts his mother.
To "cap it up," Percy is not going to have a normal life as the son of the sea god.
