Description: Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school yet again even though it’s for trying to help his friend, Grover. Crazy things are happening…his math teacher turned into a monster while on a field trip and a Minotaur is chasing Percy, Grover (a satyr), and his mother as they are trying to leave town. This chase ends with Percy and Grover safely arriving at Camp Half-Blood where Percy discovers he is a demigod surrounded by mythical creatures in the 21st century. While at camp, Percy (being intelligent and resourceful) is chosen for the quest of finding out who stole Zeus’s lightning bolt. Accepting this challenge brings about non-stop adventure as well as disaster to Percy and his friends from Camp Half-Blood.
