Synopsis

Percy Jackson is a pretty good kid, but he can't seem to control his temper or focus on his schoolwork. Lately, with him being at boarding school things are getting worsePercy could have sworn his algebra teacher turned into a monster and tried to kill him. When his mom finds out, she knows it's time to tell the truth about where he came from, and that he needs to 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.
