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&#8217;s mom finds out, she knows it&#8217;s time that he knew the truth about where he came from, and that he go to the one place he&#8217;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 &#8212; one a satyr and the other the demigod daughter of Athena &#8212; 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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Download a copy of the book from Hoopla today, and get a head start on reading this weekend.
