Fan CastingPercy Jackson - The Lightning Thief

Percy Jackson is a twelve-year-old boy diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia, and he has been expelled from every school he has ever attended. While he is in sixth grade on a field trip,[1] a classmate of his, Nancy Bobofit, bullies his best friend Grover Underwood. Percy is outraged, and suddenly, water from a nearby fountain drenches Nancy in a very unnatural way but the Mist makes it look like Percy pushed her. Their pre-algebra teacher, Mrs. Dodds, takes Percy for a private talk, presumably to scold him. However, she suddenly turns into a Fury, a mythical creature known from Greek mythology,[2] and tries to kill him. The Latin teacher, Mr. Brunner, charges in and throws Percy a pen that suddenly changes into a sword when he uncaps it. Percy kills the Fury in self-defense.
