Synopsis
Coming soon to Disney+!
Half boy. Half God. ALL Hero.
I was just a normal kid, I went to school (got expelled a lot, but that wasn't my fault), played sports and hung out with my best friend.
Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher.
Now, I spend my time at Camp Half Blood, battling monsters and generally trying to stay alive.
And now that Zeus thinks I've stolen his lightning bolt, staying alive is going to be even harder...
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PERCY JACKSON:
* Monsters
* Greek Gods
* Laughs (and terrified screams)

As a reader from the age of 9 of this franchise, these books are very entertaining and a great read, for all ages. This book covers Greek mythology in a fictitious way. I greatly recommend this book if you find an interest in ancient Greece. The main characters, Percy, Annabeth and Grover are very well written and have great individual personalities. The main plot of the book revolves around Percy allegedly angering Zeus, the head god of mount Olympus. This is a definite five star and I love this franchise so much.
