As Percy settles in at Camp Half-Blood, a summer camp on Long Island for young demigods, and later embarks on a quest, he and his friends must examine the ways in which they’re seemingly normal and the ways in which they’re not, depending on the circumstances. Percy’s sixth-grade year is shaping up to be much the same as previous years-except that once summer vacation starts, Percy discovers why he has such a hard time in school: he’s actually a demigod, or the son of a Greek god and a human mother, and his learning disabilities are typical for demigods and aren’t disabilities at all. Percy is a troubled kid-he wants to be good and do well in school, but he struggles with dyslexia and ADHD, and he has a knack for getting into major trouble at every opportunity. The Lightning Thief introduces readers to 12-year-old Percy Jackson.
