Percy Jackson’s school year has got off to a bad start. He’s blown up another school, and been forced to battle a squad of she-devil cheerleaders. Oh dear. And things only get worse when it becomes clear that his arch-enemy, Luke, means to invade Camp Half-Blood via an ancient labyrinth. That means thousands of bloodthirsty monsters will descend upon the half-bloods in a swarm. Reluctant hero though he is, Percy can’t let that happen. So it’s goodbye sunshine, hello darkness, as he and four friends descend into the maze…

Rick Riordan

Rick Riordan is a teacher and a writer, and has won many awards for his mystery novels for adults. He says that the idea for Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief first came to him while he was teaching Greek mythology at middle school in San Francisco. But rumour has it that Camp Half Blood actually exists, and Rick spends his summers there recording the adventures of young demigods. Some believe that, to avoid a mass panic among the mortal population, he was forced to swear on the River Styx to present Percy Jackson’s story as fiction. Rick lives in Texas (apart from his summers on Half Blood Hill) with his wife and two sons.
