Ok, I've calmed down. Twelve year old Percy Jackson has been kicked out of his sixth boarding school in six years. He's going to miss the latin teacher and his friend grover during summer holidays.
He never knew his real father, and his mom says he was lost at sea. Not dead, just lost. His stepfather Gabriel (AKA stinky Gabe) is a jerk to him, which is normal, and him and his mother go to the beach, which is also normal. What is not normal is that he killed his pre algebra teacher earlier in the year, and now everyone is acting like she never existed. The other not normal thing is the freak storm that comes in the middle of the night, and the fact that grover is there, but he isn't wearing pants. Where his feet should be are two cloven hooves, and his legs are covered in fur. Turns out Grover is a Satyr, and Percy's world turns upside down. His latin teacher is a centaur, the counsellor at his new camp is the god of wine, and the greek gods are real. This is an amazing book, the first in a series, and the books get better as the series progresses. I liked this book so much that I bought it!
