Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Puffin.  

Coming soon to Disney+!

Half boy. Half God. ALL Hero.

I was just a normal kid, I went to school (got expelled a lot, but that wasn't my fault), played sports and hung out with my best friend.

Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher.

Now, I spend my time at Camp Half Blood, battling monsters and generally trying to stay alive.

And now that Zeus thinks I've stolen his lightning bolt, staying alive is going to be even harder....
 

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PERCY JACKSON:

  • Monsters
  • Greek Gods
  • Laughs (and terrified screams)

Rick Riordan has now sold an incredible 60 million copies of his books worldwide.

Amazing Narration, loved it!

I loved every bit of the story, Got an idea of the Greek Gods. The Narration was very clear and just too good. It felt like I actually watched a movie. It's Worth the time!

Im glad I heard it before I read it

This was my first audiobook and my introduction to the adventurous land of Percy Jackson and I couldn't have asked for a better way to start this beautiful journey. Jesse Bernstein's voice and Rick Riordan's story is such a perfect duo I couldn't part with the audiobook (and not gonna lie I was kinda sad when I realized he wasn't narrating the Heroes of Olympus series). Long story short this audiobook is amazing and I highly recommend it.

always my fav book since I first read it...

I remember reading this when I was 13... i was so captivated and motivated I started my way to become an author too... i have read the PJ, HoO series 8 times already... first time listening to it... and the experience was incredible... espexially because I can't read books nowadays becauze of my hectic schedule... it becomes easier with audible... now that I earn part time to afford audible...

I am a slow reader and this series took me 6 months to complete the series. Each book has around 3OO to 400 pages. It is about a kid called Percy Jackson who gets to know that his father is a Greek God named Poseidon. He is just a twelve-year-old kid who now has to live in a camp called Camp Half-Blood. He also gets to know his classmate Grover is a faun sorry I mean Satyr. And also meets a girl named Annabeth. Well, this book is great and the way Rick used Myths to turn it into fiction is amazing. I am really happy to complete this series and am on the third book of the next series which is Heroes Of Olympus.
