As you may have already guessed, a demigod is a half god, half human. A little bit like Hercules. Percy's mum is a normal human, but his dad is Poseidon, god of the seas himself! Percy wasn't even aware of it until his history teacher, (a centaur named Chiron) saved him from an attack of monsters. Chiron brings him to camp, along with his best friend, who turns out to be a satyr (goat legs, human body) that was protecting him!
They bring him to Camp Half-Blood... (Remind you of anything? Half Blood Prince? No?) And there he learns to fight monsters. Oh, and he's even given an awesome pen that can turn into a sword! Cool, right? YAY! I'm not going to give away too much though.
Another thing, the author wrote five books in the series. Rick Riordan felt so bad for not writing a sixth book, he added another series with the same characters but a slightly different plot. It's called Heroes of Olympus. I'm actually reading it right now, but it's pretty good. I might review it tomorrow or on Monday if I have the time.
In conclusion, I would recommend this series for people over the age of eleven or twelve. Especially those that like action and rather magical books. Oh, and awesome people. Just saying.
