Trevor has inundated me with books the last few weeks
Here is a great series that Ben has really enjoyed.
Percy Jackson & The Olympians is a series of adventure books written by Rick Riordan, based on Greek mythology.
The series begins with a young boy named Percy Jackson who is diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia discovering that he is the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea. In the process, he learns that the Olympians still exist, along with many other figures and monsters from Greek mythology like Titans, cyclopes, and other creatures. He later becomes the owner of the sword Anaklusmos (which means "Riptide"). This was a gift from his father.
Four books have been published thus far in the series, with one more still to come:
The Lightning Thief (2005)
The Sea of Monsters (April 1, 2006)
The Titan's Curse (May 1, 2007).
The Battle of the Labyrinth (May 6, 2008).
Book 5 (May or Fall 2009).
While using much of the relevant Greek mythology as a basis for the book, some creative license is taken by Riordan.
