Jun 26, 2008 Our family recently finished reading the Percy Jackson & The Olympians books, 1-4, written by Rick Riordan. We all really enjoyed the stories. We read about three to five chapters daily. We highly recommend this series and are waiting impatiently for the next book!
The main character, Percy, always had trouble in school and was diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD. As it turns out, all the children of the gods have dyslexia and ADHD. The reason behind this is that they have to be alert and on their toes, so it is one of their natural instincts to not focus on one particular thing, but be constantly surveying their surroundings. I liked that.
The author, Rick Riordan, did a wonderful job of making the characters endearing, even the kids who are bullies and the not-so-nice kids.
