It begins with Dan in his first year of college at Berkley in Northern California. Life has been pretty good for him, both as an academic success and as a gymnastics and trampoline champion.

The book is about a 12 year old boy named Percy Jackson, who found out that his father is the Greek god Poseidon.
The second reason I picked Einstein was because he hated school, something most kids can relate to. He was always in trouble with his teachers because his mind wandered and he had a bad memory. What do you expect? He had his mind on more important things. Like Einstein said, “imagination is more important than knowledge.” When he was young, teaching in Germany was all done by drill.
