The gods of Olympus are alive in the 21st Century. They still fall in love with mortals and have children who might become great heroes, but most of these children meet horrible fates at the hands of monsters by the age of twelve. Only a few learn the truth of their identity and make it to Half Blood Hill, a Long Island summer camp dedicated to training young demigods. Such is the revelation that launches young Percy Jackson on a quest to help his real father, Poseidon, avert a war among the gods. With the help of Grover the satyr and Annabeth the daughter of Athena, Percy must journey across the United States to catch a thief who has stolen the original weapon of mass destruction - Zeus' master bolt. Along the way, they face a host of mythological enemies determined to stop them. Most of all, Percy must come to terms with a father he has never known, and an Oracle that has warned him of betrayal by a friend.

A all round great book with  the exception of the plot. I found the plot very basic and that it was the only downfall of an otherwise great book.

I love this book! Why?Because Rick Riordan was sooo creative when he wrote this book. I will tell you about it. There is a boy called Percy Jackson and he thinks he is your everyday, ordinary school boy but really he is the son of Greek God Posiedon the water god. He then ventures forth to a strange camp in the middle of nowhere called Half Blood Camp. Ok I am not telling you anymore besides you must read this and I reccomend it anyone from age 8 and up
