The Last Olympian (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #5)

by Rick Riordan

Love that Percy thinks of his “enemy” demigods this way: as people caught in the cross-fire of cruelty and hatred. Even working for “evil” they are not dehumanized.

People don’t just appear on the beach unless they’re demigods or gods or really, really lost pizza delivery guys. (It’s happened—but that’s another story.)

It’s hard to enjoy practical jokes when your whole life feels like one.
