Basically, another Harry Potter book (well, what YA book isn't, these days?), rather light reading, entertaining, slightly tongue-in-cheek story of a child of a greek god in modern times. Quite often, there's a re-telling of greek myths, you and your little demigod probably doesn't need to know much greek mythology, although it might help make it more entertaining.
