About this listen

Brought to you by Puffin.

The first audiobook in the bestselling Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. Discover the story behind the Disney+ series.

HALF BOY - HALF GOD - ALL HERO.

Look, I never asked to be the son of a Greek god. I was just a normal kid. . . until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher.

Percy Jackson is having a bad week. His life has gone from totally normal to monsters-from-Greek-mythology-randomly-appearing kind of strange. Worse still, the king of the gods thinks Percy has stolen his all-powerful lightning bolt - and it seems making Zeus angry is a very bad idea.

Now Percy and his friends have just ten days to catch the true lightning thief and stop all-out war from erupting on Mount Olympus. . .

What could possibly go wrong?

Having listened to Stephen Fry read Harry Potter and David Tennant read How to Train your Dragon we were really disappointed with the reader. But the story is fab so it was still a great listen.
