Percy Jackson discovers he's the son of Poseidon and gets swept into an epic adventure across modern-day America to prevent a war among the Greek gods. Packed with humor, heart, and mythology brought brilliantly to life, this thrilling quest will captivate young readers as Percy learns to embrace his identity and discover what it truly means to be a hero.
The gods of Olympus are alive in the 21st Century. They still fall in love with mortals and have children who might become great heroes, but most of these children meet horrible fates at the hands of monsters by the age of twelve. Only a few learn the truth of their identity and make it to Half Blood Hill, a Long Island summer camp dedicated to training young demigods. Such is the revelation that launches young Percy Jackson on a quest to help his real father, Poseidon, avert a war among the gods. With the help of Grover the satyr and Annabeth the daughter of Athena, Percy must journey across the United States to catch a thief who has stolen the original weapon of mass destruction - Zeus master bolt. Along the way, they face a host of mythological enemies determined to stop them. Most of all, Percy must come to terms with a father he has never known, and an Oracle that has warned him of betrayal by a friend. Follow the author on his blog
