Percy Jackson is a half-blood kid with ADHD (like me!) A half-blood kid is a kid who is half human half...god. Sounds crazy, right? Well, crazy is a half-blood's life. He goes to half-blood hill...and loses his mother when he gets there...sort of... Anyway, half-blood hill is where most half-bloods go for at least part of their life. There they train to become heroes if needed. The interesting thing is it's run like a summer camp! Suddenly, Percy is offered a quest. Will he save two items that belong to the gods? Will he survive it? Is his mother really gone? Find out in this amazing, funny, ***** (five star) book!
Percy Jackson is so much like me that I feel like I am him while reading it. It makes me feel like I'm talking to a clone because of the first-person writing. One line that makes me feel this way is:
"I guess that the rumors of ADHD saving you in battle are true. I could predict every move of his sword. At the same time, I could see what my friends were doing 4 yards to the left."
I feel that this helps me at the piano, because I can notice every key.
I will read the rest of this series for sure!
If you don't know about greek mythology, I recommend the Mythlopedia series.
