Percy Jackson doesn't go looking for trouble. But when you're the son of a Greek god, you can't pick and choose your battles...

Percy and his friends Annabeth and Thalia are heading to Maine to bring two demigods to Camp Half-Blood. But there, they discover that the Great Stirring of the Monsters has begun. And their deadliest enemy yet - the General - is plotting the fall of Olympus.

Camp Half-Blood's oracle predicts that only five demigods from Half-Blood Hill can fight the legions of monsters - and not all of the chosen five will suvive the dangerous quest.

Percy knows what he must do. And hundreds of bloodthirsty monsters are watching and awaiting his every move...
