Greek mythology meets modern-day hero's journey.

Picture this: You're thrown into a world where ancient Greek myths are your reality, and you suddenly discover you're the son of a god. That's the thrill of 'Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief'. It's not just a book; it's an adventure that marries the excitement of godly powers and legendary monsters with the relatability of teenage angst and finding one's place in the world. If you've ever yearned for a story that feels like an epic tale yet reads like a chat with your best friend, Percy Jackson's quest is the escape you've been craving.

Description

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.
