Trigger warnings: Abusive relationship (parental), death, murder
Percy Jackson is a 12-year-old boy who just learned he’s a demigod. He didn’t even know demigods existed. Sure he believed the stories his mother told him about the Greek gods and monsters. But to be one? Incredibly insane. Now monsters are out for his head because he’s a demigod, and apparently, he stole Zeus’ master thunderbolt for his Greek god of a father and must go on a big quest to return it to Olympus by Summer Solstice, or else there will be war. This book is full of action, adventure, and just enough quick-witted actino and comedy to be well worth the read.
