Publisher Description

Alternate cover for this ISBN can be found https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22456224-the-lightning-thief 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.

“I took a path back to memory lane and reread the first series of Percy Jackson, oh my days was it an absolute blast!! Ahhh!!! I loved it so much, it brings me such nostalgia and, ohhh, the feels, mwah mwah <3 brings me back to my childhood hjskshksjdk I'm biased abt this and I couldn't care less, best series I've read so far, hands down. the plot was top-notched, the characters are, oh, so good, yk I don't think I have any complaints. like, I enjoyed it so much, I think that enjoyment is enough for me. no need to think much about the negative side, hehe. more or less, this book has a place in my heart (LONG LIVE COMICAL CHAPTER TITLES, I LOVE YOU RICK RIORDANNN)”

“To be honest, I didn’t want to read Percy Jackson at first because I was afraid it would disappoint me but I was definitely not disappointed! 😆 This book was great and I recommend it to everybody 😊 it’s adventurous, funny, fast-paced and it has great characters (especially Percy he is literally so iconic). I will definitely be continuing this series!”
