Be Charmed by These Bewitching Books from 2025
Leni Linnéa asked this question about The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #1):

They laughed a bit to hard at it, but otherwise amazing series. Edit: In the second book they did use the r slur once which was a bit annoying bc it wasn’t necessary and could have gone without it.(less)
