Correction: the Minotaur, the original monster from Greek mythology. The threesome flee by car, pursued by a minotaur. These revelations pop the cork on a big bottle of “What now?” But explanations will have to wait. On an unrelated note, Grover reveals that he isn’t a teenage boy. If he doesn’t come with Grover right now, Percy will be killed. One stormy night, he’s with his mother in a seaside cabin in Montauk, New York, when Grover shows up with some seriously bad news: A monster is coming. Brunner and Grover are hiding something from him, he’s sure of it. Percy’s best friend, Grover Underwood, plays along. Much to Percy’s astonishment, the pen turns into a sword. Brunner comes to his rescue and throws him. But his greatest challenges come in the world’s darkest hour.Percy Jackson is having a decent time on his school field trip until his math teacher turns into a bat-winged hag and tries to kill him.

He stands ready to assist when Annabeth leads the charge into the mind-blowing Labyrinth. With his best friends Annabeth Chase, intimidating and intelligent daughter of Athena, and Grover Underwood, omnivorous half-man, half-goat, the son of Poseidon solves the mystery of Zeus’s stolen lightning bolt, saves Camp Half-Blood by recovering the long-lost Golden Fleece, and frees the goddess Artemis before she’s crushed by the weight of the sky. Welcome to the beginning of Percy Jackson’s new life, a life where Greek mythology intersects modern day, where ADHD is an asset not a disorder, and where dangerous quests are the most sought-after activity. Their destination is the camp, but their chances of making it there don’t look good. Percy learns all this as he, his mother, and his best friend Grover Underwood-who is not a teenage boy, but a satyr the hooves and horns were a dead giveaway–are fleeing for their lives. But luckily, there’s a place where the children of the gods are safe: Camp Half-Blood. Any demigod living in the real world is vulnerable. Then they like them very much.) When monsters smell half-bloods, they attack.

(Unless they’re served up as tasty snacks. Unfortunately, Greek monsters are also real, and they don’t like demigods.

Demigods, or half-bloods as they’re also known. Sometimes those relationships result in children. (Why there? Because Mount Olympus moves to wherever the center of Western civilization is-which is New York City, apparently, at least in the Olympians’ eyes.) Now and then, the gods come to earth and form relationships with mortals. The Greek gods of myth are real and living in Mount Olympus high above the Empire State Building. Percy Jackson’s first reaction to learning he’s a demigod is…huh? But it’s true.
