"Percy Jackson & the Olympians," a fan-favorite young-adult fantasy series, comes from the imaginative mind of Rick Riordan. This is the first series in Riordan's collection called Camp Half-Blood Chronicles. This collection includes series such as the Heroes of Olympus and the Trials of Apollo. It also encompasses additional mythological collections.
The series highlights Percy Jackson, a half-god twelve-year-old (partly human, partly Greek deity) who finds out he's the Sea's Greek god Poseidon's child. Percy is sent to Camp Half-Blood, a hidden training area for half-gods. Here, he learns about his unique abilities and his fate.
The series follows Percy and his friends Grover Underwood (a Satyr) and Annabeth Chase (Athena's daughter). They embarked on numerous missions to safeguard the world from mythic dangers. They battle monsters, gods, and Titans, all while trying to keep their demigod identities a secret.
