"My favorite character was Annabeth because of her witty sarcasm. The most interesting thing about the book were the aspects of Greek mythology. I have and will continue to recommend it. "
- Grace G.
SYNOPSIS:
Imagine being 12 year old Percy Jackson: kicked out of more schools than you can count for creating disruptions you can't really recall, being attacked by a wild beast on your way to summer camp, finding out your best friend is a satyr, making friends with a daughter of Athena, finding out you're the son of a Greek God And as if battling dyslexia and ADD on top of all that weren't enough, now he must set out on a cross-country journey to battle Hades and return a lost artifact to Zeus. Will Percy succeed or will the powerful gods undermine his quest? Or will he be betrayed by those closest to him? To find out the answers to all of these questions, read this book.
