I was honored to write a guest post about the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series on Pete Quily's blog Adult ADD Strengths. This was a really fun series to read, full of adventure, gods and monsters, and likeable heroes. Riordan wrote the series for his son, who was struggling in school and eventually diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia (his son has now completed a 500 page manuscript of his own). Most of the demigods in the series have ADHD and dyslexia, which makes school challenging but also gives them their great battle reflexes (and signals that they are wired to read ancient Greek, not English). Percy Jackson, rare son of the sea god Poseidon, is an endearing hero on par with the likes of Harry Potter. Read my review on Pete's blog here.
