I read the first three books and don't remember any of what the above commenters are saying. OTOH, I don't actually remember anything about the books. Except the existence of the demigod summer camp.
My co-worker's son adores the Percy Jackson books to death -- he also started reading them as an 11-year-old with ADHD, so I suspect he identifies with Percy in a big way. :D
I suggest you read some of Riordan's mysteries set in San Antonio. I can't tell you if the mystery itself is any good or not because I spent the entire time reading them going OMG THIS IS EXACTLY THE SAN ANTONIO I LIVED IN!!! I sent copies to a friend who'd lived in San Antonio at the same time I did, and he had the exact same response. Plus the protagonist's cat is named Robert Johnson.
