We aren't reading, but listening to, The Lightning Thief series by Rick Riordan. It is wonderful! We finished The Lightning Thief and are waiting to start book two A Sea of Monsters on our way to KY later this week. http://www.rickriordan.com/ Basics: A 12 year old boy discovers he's a demigod and the son of Poseidon. A huge adventure ensues as he sets off on a quest to take back the Master Bolt belonging to Zeus and try to find his mother who has been taken captive by Hades. With best his two best friends, a satyr and the daughter of Athena, it's a wild ride fighting off The Furies, a minotaur, and other Greek monsters.
