When Perseus Jackson discovers that he is a demigo, the son of Poseidon, he sets out to come to terms with his father who abandoned him. Percy and his friends set out on a quest to help Zeus, who has been stolen from. Many Greek gods come into play and it only gets better from there! 6th grade me would love to read this series for the first time again.
