This book is about Percy Jackson who discovers he is the son of the Greek god Poseidon. While being chased by monsters to a summer camp for people like him (Half-bloods) he learns his best friend, Grover, is a satyr. On the way to camp his mom disappears in a flash of light. At Camp Half Blood he is assigned a quest to the Underworld to find Zeus’s master bolt and Hades’ helm of darkness. Percy actually wants to go to the Underworld because he wants to bring his mom back. In the end, Percy is successful in his quest, and gets the lightning bolt back to Zeus, and the Helm of Darkness back to Hades. In gratitude from the gods, his mom is returned from the Underworld.
