About this listen

Brought to you by Puffin.

The first audiobook in the bestselling Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. Discover the story behind the Disney+ series.

HALF BOY - HALF GOD - ALL HERO.

Look, I never asked to be the son of a Greek god. I was just a normal kid. . . until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher.

Percy Jackson is having a bad week. His life has gone from totally normal to monsters-from-Greek-mythology-randomly-appearing kind of strange. Worse still, the king of the gods thinks Percy has stolen his all-powerful lightning bolt - and it seems making Zeus angry is a very bad idea.

Now Percy and his friends have just ten days to catch the true lightning thief and stop all-out war from erupting on Mount Olympus. . .

at first I didn't really like the reader's voice, I struggled to understand the sutible differences in the characters voices, but after awhile Jesse Bernsteins voice grew on me and I loved the story.

Awesome but took awhile to grow on me.
