What a story! If you haven't read any of Rick Riordan's books, you're a little late to the demigod party. Better late than never, right? For those who need a crash course in all things demigods, demigods are the children of the Greek and Roman deities (Zeus/Jupiter, Poseidon/Neptune, Ares/Mars). The Greek and Roman gods do not interfere in mortal affairs so the demigods (their children) are tasked with saving the world. Some famous demigods include: Hercules, who is known for the 12 labors, Achilles, the hero of the Trojan War, Dionysus, who was raised to a god & the modern day heart throb, loyal friend, and in every sense of the word, a true hero, Percy Jackson. The Mark of Athena is the third book in the Heroes of Olympus series. It's easy to get lost in the fast paced action and quest the characters embark on. However, it is important to realize Percy Jackson along with his demigod friends (heroes as they're called in the book) have to work together and overcome their own internal struggles to save the world. Rick Riordan shows us that need to have more than incredible powers or being gifted. Using your brain instead of braun, working together to solve a problem and trust are the things that truly matters. Link to request the book through Cary Memorial Library. Other similar titles worth reading in case you've already read The Mark of Athena.
