Percy Jackson and the Olympians

Disney+

Percy Jackson isn’t a normal 12-year-old. He’s the son of a human and Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea. He’s also the new kid at Camp Half-Blood, where Greek demigods like Percy learn how to use their powers. As the only son of Poseidon at camp, Percy’s the odd kid out. To make matters worse, when the king of the gods’ lightning bolt goes missing, Percy’s the main suspect.

His quest to prove his innocence and stop a war is now a TV show on Disney+. But it started back in 2005 as a book series by Rick Riordan. Whether you’re reading or watching the new TV series, you’re in for a mythological adventure!
