Join us, Beth and Will, on an exciting journey in our first ever book club podcast, Percy and Beyond, as we delve into the captivating world of Percy Jackson. The nostalgia is real as Beth revisits her favorite childhood series, while Will is set to experience the magic for the first time. Together, we'll venture through the first four chapters, examining the rich characters, discussing the appeal the books have on young readers, and considering if this magical world is just the right fit for Will.
In this mystical odyssey, we’ll engage in stimulating discussions about the characters - from brave Percy to his loyal friend Grover, and even the villainous Mrs. Dodds. We'll also probe into Percy's ADHD and dyslexia, examining how the books address these learning challenges, and speculate about the mysterious origins of Mrs. Kerr and the backstory of Percy's dad. As we progress, we'll delve deeper into the plot foundation of the Titanomaki myth and the humor-infused chapters that make the series so alluring.
