Percy Jackson has always experienced weird things, but he always figured it was either his dyslexia, or maybe even is ADHD. Bullied and outcast, he bounces from school to school until he gets to Yancy Academy, and for the first time makes a real friend, Grover. He even has a teacher, Mr. Brunner, who truly believes in him. Until one day when he overhears Grover and Mr. Brunner talking about him, and about how they must make sure he stays alive until next fall. Could the reason Percy is excelling in Greek mythology be linked to his father that he has never met? Could Percy be someone special after all?

I love this Percy Jackson series. This first one I thought was clever, but I liked it better when it became a series and I'm waiting to read book 4 right now! Adventure and Greek mythology lovers will be instant fans.
Although I haven't been able to read these yet (my "to read" list is something like 200 books long), I have a ton of patrons coming in requesting/talking about this series. What I have heard about these makes me want to hurry up and finish the books in my queue so I can move on to Percy Jackson
I'm going through your blog right now, and it just occurred to me. I'm not sure if you've read them, but it seems to me that Gregor the Overlander would appeal to the same sort of audience. I read it and I absolutely LOVE it, so you might want to pick it up!
