My eight year-old found The Olympians series at the library (first book is The Lightning Thief). Modern day America and the Greek Gods are still alive living on the 600th floor of the Empire State Building. Young Percy Jackson learns that he's the son of one of the gods, adventure ensues. Ares as a biker dude, summer camp for half-god children, and all sorts of other wacky, fun stuff.
Read all four so far. Can't wait for the last book in March of 2009. They are also doing a movie based on the Lightning Thief, directed by Chris Columbus.
The background is just as interesting especially as that summer camp has its chosen groups based either on those whose background hasn't been determined and those that have such as Ares and so on.
I've read the first book so far and consider it a good introduction to Scion at least from my point of view...

I didn't think of that. My gaming group is playing Scion now, just using the campaign in the core books. If we do another story, it would be a good backdrop for another campaign.
