“I was in fifth-period science class when I heard these noises outside.”

From Rick Riordan’s The Demigod Files.

Ever since he learned that he is the son of a Greek god–otherwise known as a demigod–Percy Jackson has plunged headfirst into countless quests for gods, battles with evil, and meetings with terrifying mythical monsters. In Percy Jackson and the Stolen Chariot, the young son of Poseidon helps fellow demigod Clarisse steal back her father’s chariot from her minor god half-brothers, Phobos and Deimos. When a routine game of capture the flag at Camp Half-Blood turns into a deadly battle with giant ants for the injured demigod Beckendorf, Percy and Annabeth must lead a deadly rescue mission in Percy Jackson and the Bronze Dragon. Finally in Percy Jackson and the Sword of Hades, Percy finds that has been summoned to the Underworld along with fellow demigods Thalia and Nico by Persephone to find Hades’ stolen sword before the thief can escape with it, but they’ll only be able to succeed with the help of an unexpected ally named Bob. Forced to fight evil and help moody gods will keep Percy and his fellow demigods busy while they try to save the world.
