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. Percy's mom decides it's time that he knew the truth about where he came from. 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. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves. 3346751 book 2005 The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 1) total:18293|5:8846|4:6261|3:2642|2:433|1:110| 18293 78181 24468 4617 2 21 false false Wed Nov 12 17:25:19 -0800 2008 Thu Sep 03 17:46:01 -0700 2009
