Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. I never asked to be the son of a Greek god. I was just a normal kid, going to school, playing basketball, skateboarding. The usual. Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher. That's when things started really going wrong. Now I spend my time fighting with swords, battling monsters with my friends and generally trying to stay alive.

This is the one where Zeus, God of the Sky, thinks I've stolen his lightning bolt - and making Zeus angry is a very bad idea . . .

'I read this book after hearing about it coming onto the big screens. I really wish I had found an interest in it before that as it is a really good novel. It opens your eyes up to all well known ancient greek myths and gives it a modern new twist. The characters in the book are amazing and I find that many people can relate to them. I highly recommend this book, and the rest of the series, to anyone that hasn''t already done so.Guaranteed you won''t be left dissapointed.'
