Percy Jackson discovers that he is a demi-god, and he is being pursued by monsters from the Underworld. He escapes to Camp Half-Blood where demi-gods like himself can find safety from monsters. They spend their summers training to fight monsters and learning about the Greek gods.

I just loved re-reading this favorite book again this year. Percy is so sassy and hilarious. Grover, the satyr, is adorable and ridiculously funny. And of course, my favorite character is Annabeth, the daughter of Athena. She is not nicknamed Wise Girl for nothing. I love how she doesn't really like Percy that much in the beginning, but through their adventures, they become friends.

The writing is snappy, the adventures are imaginative, and I love learning about the Greek legends! This book is such a perfect beginning to one of my favorite series!
