Summary: Young Harry Potter Perseus "Percy" Jackson is a troubled youth, with few friends, a lousy adoptive family stepdad and a tendency to have wierd stuff happen to him that no one else believes. Until one day he's told that he's a wizard a demi-god, the son of Poseidon. He travels to Hogwarts Camp Half-Blood to meet others of his kind and train to survive. But a crisis comes along that forces him to leave on a Quest, with only his good friends, the bookish girl Hermione Annabeth, and the bumbling fellow wizard Satyr Ron Grover for allies. Along the way, the discover that an ancient evil, Lord Voldemort (SPOILER) is rising again.
Okay, it's actually much better than the summary makes it out to be, but you can see in the beginning it was plainly advertised to the publishers as "The next Harry Potter, but with Olympian demi-gods instead of wizards!" Fortunately Riordan makes the concept his own well enough that the book can stand by itself.
