Percy settles into camp life, but he is still focused on the possibility that his mother is held captive in the Underworld. Camp Half-Blood is full of demigods like Percy-children of one human parent and one god parent whose parents were unable or unwilling to raise them themselves, so they were brought here for protection against monsters such as the Minotaur that attacked earlier on the road trip with his mother D reveals himself as Dionysus (the god of wine) while Annabeth is revealed as Chiron’s daughter Athena’s child (Athena being one of Zeus’ children). When he wakes up Chiron takes him into camp where Mr. They try to get past a huge pine tree but end up getting attacked by a Minotaur instead luckily Percy manages to kill it before passing out from exhaustion afterwards. A goat shows up at their door, claiming that “he” is after them this turns out to be true because soon after they leave home someone attacks them with lightning and kidnaps Mom. The vacation starts out normal-they talk about Dad, who left when Mom was pregnant-but then there’s a hurricane. He waits for Mom, who tells him they’re going to the beach house in Montauk for the weekend without Gabe.

Percy ditches Grover and goes back to his apartment without Smelly Gabe (Mom’s husband). This scares Grover, so he asks Percy to walk him home. They see an old fruit stand where three old ladies are knitting. Percy and Grover are on a bus when it breaks down. She takes Percy into the museum alone and transforms into a monstrous creature… He tries hard to be good because he admires his Latin teacher, Mr. Percy has ADHD and dyslexia, and he’s gotten expelled from six schools already.

His story begins with a school field trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson warns the reader that if they recognize themselves in the story to follow, they should stop reading: being a demigod is rough. 1-Page Summary of The Lightning Thief Overall Summary
