Prose

• It is the first book in the Percy Jackson & The Olympians series, and chronicles the adventures of twelve year old Percy Jackson, who discovers he is a demigod, the son of a mortal woman and the Greek god Poseidon.

The article has a few problems. I am keeping it on hold for seven days, so that the problems can be fixed. Warrior4321 19:13, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
