Percy Jackson non sapeva di essere destinato a grandi imprese prima di vedere la professoressa di matematica trasformarsi in una Furia per tentare di ucciderlo. Le creature della mitologia greca e gli dei dell'Olimpo, in realtà, non sono scomparsi ma si sono semplicemente trasferiti a New York, più vivi e litigiosi di prima. Tanto che l'ultimo dei loro bisticci rischia di trascinare il mondo nel caos: qualcuno ha rubato la Folgore di Zeus, e qualcuno dovrà ritrovarla entro dieci giorni.

Some of the words are definitely dated at this point.

Overall, I think my kiddos would enjoy this as they are both very much into Greek gods at this time, and I wanted a fun series that they could dive into that's not Harry Potter because I can't let them think it's ok to support the atrocity that is JK Rowling. This …

An Enjoyable Adventure with Greek Mythology

Twelve-year-old Perseus "Percy" Jackson knew he was different from other kids. For most of his life, he had struggled in school. His ADHD and dyslexia made it impossible for him to learn anything. One day, his boarding school decided to take a tour of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This was meant to be an ordinary field trip filled with boring droning over history but an incident with a fellow student draws the attention of a teacher named Mrs. Dodds. The woman changes and charges after Percy only to have him defeated.

Percy knows that something is going on and his concerns are addressed when he hears Grover and Mr. Brunner discussing him. Even more, he sees three old ladies knitting while on his way home. Then, a trip with his mother takes a turn for the worst placing Percy on the doorsteps of a camp for children like he …
