The gods of Olympus are alive in the 21st century. They still fall in love with mortals and have children who might become great heroes, but most of these children meet horrible fates at the hands of monsters. Such is the revelation that launches Percy Jackson on a quest to help his father, Poseidon, avert a war among the gods.
After blowing up yet another school, Percy is forced to flee to Camp Half Blood, where he finds all is not well. A dangerous enemy, intent on destroying the secret training camp for young demi-gods, has found a way in through an ancient labyrinth. Percy and his friends must unravel the mysteries of the maze to stop this attack.
The greatest monster of all, the storm giant Typhon, is on the loose, wreaking havoc and destruction across the U.S. – while Kronos’s army lays siege to Manhattan. Soon Percy Jackson must make the hardest choice of his life – a choice that will save or destroy the world.

That is until military academy is mentioned and Greg realizes that he’s going to have to come up with a very special excuse.
It’s a brand-new year and a brand-new journal and Greg is keen to put the humiliating (and secret!) events of last summer firmly behind him. But someone knows everything – someone whose job it is to most definitely not keep anything embarrassing of Greg’s private – his big brother, Rodrick.
Greg Heffley finds himself thrust into a new year and a new school where undersize weaklings share the corridors with kids who are taller, meaner and already shaving.
