You want... ...Rick Riordan’s series about Percy Jackson and the Olympians. There are four books now that revolve around a summer camp for children who are the offspring of the old Gods and mortals. The first one is my favorite, and I do like the idea that the entrance to Hades is under Los Angeles and that Zeus hangs out above Manhattan.It seems appropriate somehow.
A description of Book 1: "An adventure-quest with a hip edge. At first glance, Perseus Jackson seems like a loser (readers meet him at a boarding school for troubled youth), but he's really the son of Poseidon and a mortal woman.As he discovers his heritage, he also loses that mother and falls into mortal danger. The gods (still very active in the 21st-century world) are about to go to war over a lost thunderbolt, so Percy and sidekicks Grover (a young satyr) and Annabeth (daughter of Athena) set out to retrieve it.
Many close calls and monster-attacks later, they enter Hades's realm (via L.A.). A virtuoso description of the Underworld is matched by a later account of Olympus (hovering 600 floors above Manhattan). There's lots of zippy review of Greek myth and legend, and characters like Medusa, Procrustes, Charon, and the Eumenides get updates.
Some of the Labors of Heracles or Odysseus's adventures are recycled, but nothing seems stale, and the breakneck pace keeps the action from being too predictable. Percy is an ADHD, wise-cracking, first-person narrator. Naturally, his real quest is for his own identity.
Along the way, such topics as family, trust, war, the environment, dreams, and perceptions are raised. There is subtle social critique for sophisticated readers who can see it. Although the novel ends with a satisfying conclusion (and at least one surprise), it is clear that the story isn't over.
The 12-year-old has matured and is ready for another quest, and the villain is at large." Sources: My Reading Experience AND Amazon.

The Lightning Thief There is a series such as you describe called Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan. The first book in the series is The Lightning Thief. Percy (Perseus) Jackson finds out he is the son of one of the Greek gods.It explains a lot of the odd happenings in his life, and is the start of many adventures with his new best friends, a satyr and a girl who's father is also a Greek god.
My daughter loves these books, and I have to admit that I’ve read them and enjoyed them too. The humor is very good, and many of the characters serve as a great introduction to Greek mythology. Lots of action, and a great theme throughout about friendship, loyalty, bravery, and sacrifice.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
