Percy Jackson

Percy Jackson is a fictional character in Rick Riordan's Greek mythology series. He lives in Camp Half Blood and goes on various quests to help his friends when they are in trouble. Percy Jackson's name is short for Perseus and Percy is the brother of of Tyson, an unusually kind Cyclops who is homeless. In this story, the Greek gods have to be kept separate from the mortals by using something called the Mist. The Mist is an obscuring force that makes the mortals see godly things as normal things. Monsters can look like dogs and gods look like normal people. In Camp Half-Blood, there are different gods that rule the camp, including Dionysus. The story incorporates many elements of Greek mythology like the gods and scary places like Tartarus. The characters live in the United States because the USA is the power center of the world, and the gods try to stay where the biggest center of power is. Percy Jackson has a friend named Annabeth and another friend named Grover who is a half wolf and a half male human person. The demigods, children of both gods and mortals such as Percy and Annabeth, are afraid of monsters and Percy's human mother lives with a smelly person who has a not-so-pretty last name. Percy's father, like the other demigods' godly parents, disappear right after the child is born and go back to Mount Olympus. Percy has been expelled from school many times and has found refuge at Camp Half-Blood. He has an arch-enemy named Clarisse who is acting like a brat to him. Percy Jackson is a must read mythological fiction novel!
