The book that I choose is Percy Jackson and The Last Olympian. It is the fifth and final novel of the Percy Jackson and The Olympians series. The Last Olympian is a fantasy-adventure novel which was based on Greek mythology and is a direct sequel from The Battle of The Labyrinth. This book revolves around the demigod Percy Jackson as he leads his friends, Annabeth Chase, Grover Underwood, Thalia Grace and Nico di Angelo in a last stand to protect Mount Olympus.

Percy is also gifted with several semi-divine abilities such as the ability to manipulate water and currents, enhanced strength and senses while being near water, ability to breath underwater, mental communication with marine animals and horses(since horses were created by Poseidon) and creates small earthquakes and hurricanes. Although he seems like a character that can do almost everything, he still acts dumb sometimes and that has earned him a nickname-seaweed
