Percy Jackson thought he was just a regular kid struggling in school, but everything changes when he discovers he's actually the son of a Greek god. Packed with action, humor, and heart, this thrilling adventure introduces readers to a world where ancient mythology is alive and well in modern America, as Percy and his newfound friends race across the country on a dangerous quest. With themes of friendship, self-discovery, and belonging, this book is a gateway to imagination that will captivate readers who love adventure and mythology.
Percy Jackson is a good kid, but he can't seem to focus on his schoolwork or control his temper. And lately, being away at boarding school is only getting worse-Percy could have sworn his pre-algebra teacher turned into a monster and tried to kill him. When Percy's mom finds out, she knows it's time that he knew the truth about where he came from, and that he go to the one place he'll be safe. She sends Percy to Camp Half Blood, a summer camp for demigods (on Long Island), where he learns that the father he never knew is Poseidon, God of the Sea. Soon a mystery unfolds and together with his friends -- one a satyr and the other the demigod daughter of Athena -- Percy sets out on a quest across the United States to reach the gates of the Underworld (located in a recording studio in Hollywood) and prevent a catastrophic war between the gods.
