***Students who have not finished the series are welcome. If you wish to avoid spoilers, please check the class topics below to see which books will be covered in class.***

In this ongoing class we will explore the strange and mythical world of Percy Jackson and the Olympians through its many rich and diverse characters. This interactive online club offers a unique opportunity to dive deep into the story, characters, and themes of the series while engaging in fun activities with fellow fans! 

Class Structure:
Each week, we will focus on a different character from The Percy Jackson and the Olympians/Heroes of Olympus series. Through lively discussions and analysis, we will explore their strengths, weaknesses, and the deeper meanings behind their actions. 

Students will also have the opportunity to test their knowledge of the series in character themed trivia games! Compete with fellow book club members, and earn points as you demonstrate your understanding of the books, characters, and memorable moments from the series!

This class will be moderated to ensure a safe environment for all learners, the main goal is for learners to have fun and engage in a topic they love. Though participation is encouraged it is not mandatory. 

***Note: This class will cover characters in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians and The Heroes of Olympus series (Trials of Apollo may be added at a later date).***
