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. Soon a mystery unfolds and together with his friends -- one a satyr and the other the demigod daughter of Athena -- Percy sets out on a quest across the United States to reach the gates of the Underworld (located in a recording studio in Hollywood) and prevent a catastrophic war between the gods.



Who could think that a dyslexion, ADHD, twelve-year-old boy is the son of Poseidon? Who knows what happened to his mother? Who stole the master bolt? Who thinks Percy will complete the quest? Who suspects they will save his mother? Who can stop asking questions?

Percy is the son of Poseidon. Annabeth is the daughter of Athena. Grover is a satyr.

After Percy discovers the truth, he has to fight Ares! A son of Poseidon against a god? That does sound risky...

The Percy Jackson and The Olympians are popular for a reason.

Kaya dreams of racing her beautiful mare Steps High. Her father warns her that the horse isn't ready, but when a pesky boy insults Steps High, Kaya accepts his challenge to race. As they ride, Kaya loses sight of her little brothers. Her carelessness earns her a nickname that her friends won't let her forget.

Kaya is a Nez Perce Indian. Like most of her tribe, Kaya has an appaloosa, a type of horse. The American Girl books are very historical.

In one chapter, Kaya tries to beat some annoying boys, but her plans backfire.

American Girl has many different types of dolls and books: these kinds are known as historical. Other groups include Girl of The Year, Beforever, My American Girl, and for the little ones, Bitty Babies and Bitty Twins. Some of the dolls even have there own movie.
