Summary

Brought to you by Puffin.

Coming soon to Disney+!

Half boy. Half God. ALL Hero.

I was just a normal kid, I went to school (got expelled a lot, but that wasn't my fault), played sports and hung out with my best friend.

Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher.

Now, I spend my time at Camp Half Blood, battling monsters and generally trying to stay alive.

And now that Zeus thinks I've stolen his lightning bolt, staying alive is going to be even harder....

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PERCY JACKSON:

  • Monsters
  • Greek Gods
  • Laughs (and terrified screams)

Rick Riordan has now sold an incredible 60 million copies of his books worldwide.

Great but the narrator says the gods names wrong

This book is amazing I love it but the narrator says gods names wrong except for Zeus and Hades and I can’t listen to Luke’s voice. Otherwise I love the story and I’m really impressed by Rick Riordan’s work it’s generally great if they do the audiobook again without Jesse Bernstein I would listen to it. (Chose Steven fry)

Amazing but I don't like the narrator

This is the book that began my obsession! Reccomend it to anyone who likes Harry potter or How to train your dragon!
Only problem is the narrator, they don't really do accents and the guy who guards the underworld, who is supposed to have a posh English accent, just sounds really weird!
Overall, I love this book but I wish it were read by someone else
