Percy Jackson just wants to be a normal kid. That wish is thrown out the window when he learns he’s a demigod who is the son of Poseidon. With his new friends Grover and Annabeth, Percy is thrust into a quest to prevent a war between the gods and learns to embrace his destiny.

Suggested reading: The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians #1) by Rick Riordan
