Synopsis

It's not easy being a half-blood these days. Even a simple game of dodgeball becomes a death match against an ugly gang of cannibal giants - and that was only the beginning.Now Camp Half-Blood is under attack, and unless I can get my hands on the Golden Fleece, the whole camp will be invaded by monsters. Big ones . . .Can Percy survive the treacherous sea of monsters and restore order to Half-Blood Hill? "Puns, jokes and subtle wit, alongside a gripping storyline." Telegraph "In a feat worthy of his heroic subjects, Riordan crafts a sequel stronger than his compelling debut." Publishers Weekly"[A] fast and funny tale, full of action, wisecracks, and superhuman powers." Kliatt

About the author

Rick Riordan

Rick Riordan is a teacher and a writer, and has won many awards for his mystery novels for adults. He says that the idea for Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief first came to him while he was teaching Greek mythology at middle school in San Francisco. But rumour has it that Camp Half Blood actually exists, and Rick spends his summers there recording the adventures of young demigods. Some believe that, to avoid a mass panic among the mortal population, he was forced to swear on the River Styx to present Percy Jackson's story as fiction. Rick lives in Texas (apart from his summers on Half Blood Hill) with his wife and two sons.
