“Percy Jackson and the Olympians”

by Rick Riordan

Let’s face it: It’s not always easy to get kids with ADHD to read books. It’s also often difficult to find positive portrayals of their symptoms. In Riordan’s fast-paced, action-packed novels (that will stuff your kids’ heads with a decent amount of Greek mythology), the main character has ADHD and dyslexia — a sign he’s descended from a Greek God. These are great books in which avid and reluctant readers alike will see reflections of themselves.
