Local Description

Staff Notes: Percy is the sarcastic, sword-swing sin of Poseidon with the weight of the world, sometimes literally, on his shoulders. Armed with a ball-point pen, and accompanied by a smart girl with a magic baseball cap and a half-goat boy looking for the wilderness god, Pan, Percy has to deal with fire-breathing chihuahuas, relatives that just want him dead, a sassy, winged horse who speaks directly into his head. Just general teen things, right?
