Founder/Creative Director Topher Bradfield gives us a sneak peek at a new book club podcast featuring the staff of Camp Half-Blood, Austin Branch.

Since 2006, Camp Half-Blood (Austin Branch) has provided a screen-free environment for kids to live as a "demigod" and let their imaginations run free. Since camp was inspired by the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, it seems only fitting to start with The Lightning Thief. A rotating panel of CHB staff will tackle a few chapters per episode, weaving in stories from the last decade-plus of camp summers. In the months to come, we'll welcome special guests to discuss "young reader" books that changed their lives.

For now, get to re-reading The Lightning Thief so that you can follow along as we go!
