Well Percy is standing up to his entire family, whom he loves very much.
That takes courage.  He is being a total idiot - but it isn't the easy road.
The easy road would be to drift off and make excuses for never seeing them;
to throw his jumper in the rubbish bin quietly.

Does he have the courage to admit that he was wrong?  Roll on Book 6!
