The Lightning Thief
‘The Lightning Thief’ shows twelve-year-old Percy Jackson on the most dangerous quest of his life. With the help of a satyr and a daughter of Athena, Percy journeys across the United States to catch a thief who has stolen the original weapon of mass destruction — Zeus’ master bolt. Along the way, he faces a host of mythological enemies determined to stop him.
The Sea of Monsters
‘In The Sea of Monsters’, when Thalia’s tree is mysteriously poisoned, the magical borders of Camp Half-Blood begin to fail. Now Percy and his friends sail into the Sea of Monsters to find the magic item powerful to save the camp before it is overrun by monsters. Along the way, Percy staged a daring rescue operation to save his old friend Grover, and he learns a terrible secret about his own family.
The Titan’s Curse
In the third book ‘The Titan’s Curse,’ when Percy Jackson gets an urgent distress call from his friend Grover, he immediately prepares for battle. He knows he will need his powerful demigod allies at his side, his trusty bronze sword Riptide, and a ride from his mom. The demigods rush to the rescue to find that Grover has made an important discovery: two powerful half-bloods whose parentage is unknown.
The Battle of the Labyrinth
In the book ‘The Battle of the Labyrinth’, when a mysterious mortal acquaintance appears, pursued by demon cheerleaders, things quickly go from bad to worse. Time is running out for Percy. War between the gods and the Titans is drawing near. Even Camp Half-Blood isn’t safe, as Kronos’ army prepares to invade its once impenetrable borders. To stop them, Percy and his friends set out on a quest through the Labyrinth — a sprawling underground world with surprises and danger at every turn.
The Last Olympian
The half-bloods have been preparing for battle against the Titans, knowing the odds of victory are grim. Kronos’s army is stronger than ever, and with every god and half-blood he recruits, the evil Titan’s power only grows. Now it’s up to Percy Jackson and an army of young demigods to stop the Lord of Time.
The first book was adapted into a film titled Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief in 2010. An adaptation of the second book, titled Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, was released in 2013.
