## About this book

Percy Jackson’s life flips from ordinary to mythological when he vaporizes his math teacher and learns he is a demigod - the son of a Greek god. The first volume in the Percy Jackson series introduces a twelve-year-old who never asked for hero status, yet suddenly finds himself at Camp Half-Blood, training with swords and dodging monsters. Accused of stealing Zeus’s master lightning bolt, Percy must navigate a world of ancient rivalries and modern danger.

Set firmly in the children’s fiction and fantasy genre, this story kicks off a thrilling quest across America. With allies Annabeth and Grover, Percy races to clear his name and prevent a war among the Olympians. Fast-paced action, sharp humor, and clever twists on classical myths make this a standout in contemporary middle-grade literature.
