Half Boy. Half God. All hero.
'Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. I never asked to be the son of a Greek God.'
Percy Jackson was just a normal kid, going to school, playing basketball, skateboarding. The usual. Until he accidentally vaporized his maths teacher.
That’s when things really started going wrong.
As the son of Poseidon, God of the Sea, Percy has faced battles with Zeus, hand-to-claw combat with a half-lion, half-human and blowing up schools. In fact, he spends most of his time just trying to stay alive.
Here's where you can listen to Rick Riordan talking about his explosive action adventure series . . .
The Greek Gods are alive and kicking in the 21st century.
