What if the Greek gods were still alive in the 21st century? San Antonio's own Rick Riordan has brought them to life in a series of children’s books that I highly recommend. Our hero, Percy Jackson is a demi-god, son of Poseidon and a mortal woman.Twelve-year old Percy finds out the truth and is whisked off to a demi-god camp on Long Island where he meets other demi-gods. The first book is The Lightening Thief and he sets out on a quest with a satyr and a daughter of Athena. Along the way he meets other mythological creatures and gods to deter or help him.
There are five books and they must be read in order and each book is a one day read. Of course Hollywood has taken notice and the film comes out in February and Chiflado will be in queue to see it.
Riordan has also written some adult mystery novels that I will read as soon as I get a chance. For more info, click here: http://www.rickriordan.com/
