Summary
Percy Jackson is a good kid, but he can’t seem to focus on his schoolwork or control his temper. 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. When Percy’s mom finds out, she knows it’s time that he knew the truth about where he came from, and that he go to the one place he’ll be safe. 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.

Review
I wanted to continue with the Half-Blood Camp series, so I decided to read every book from the beginning. Thus, it’s a re-read.
Even if I am older than the first time I read it, it’s a great pleasure to read a book like this.
The characters are exceptional. They are all different with their own personality, and they are numerous.
Furthermore, the author inserts all the mythology parts flawlessly. Every detail makes it believable and real. You have, in this book, a lot of explanations and it feels like we are like Percy Jackson, a new person in this camp.
The next book is Sea of Monsters, and I ready to read it.
Liz.
