I came across this kids' book on the 'free' shelf at work and decided to read it just because so many people currently had it on their paperbackswap wish list - I wondered what the buzz was about. The twist here is that characters from Greek mythology are real, and interacting with the world today. Percy Jackson, a dyslexic teen, is actually the son of a god, and evil beings are out to get him. For his own safety, he is brought to Half-Blood Hill, a summer camp run by Dionysus (which is not nearly as fun or decadent as that sounds). And there's a quest, with companions.
I suppose this wasn't terrible, but I really didn't get into it.
