Something magical happens when a reader discovers Percy Jackson for the first time, and this is the book series that will give you that same feeling all over again!
The books follow main character Alex Neptune who has the power to control water... and all the sea creatures in the ocean know. In each book, we see him embark on a new adventure with his found family, made up of his tech-genius best friend Zoey, legend-lover Anil, a sharp-shooting octopus, four acrobatic otters and a thieving seagull.
From saving imprisoned water dragons, being attacked by pirates in a ship made of rubbish all the way to stopping deadly parasites, each book holds some sort of danger to stop from leading to destruction...
