About this book
After watching the awful camp orientation video created by Apollo, Percy Jackson and his friends decide to write their own guide to Camp Half-Blood, for new demigods. They will answer all your questions, like 'What even is this place?' and 'Do I get to keep the T-shirt?' and share insider information about the divine cabins, the magical landmarks, and the training arenas.
But it's not all about the grounds. Despite what Apollo's orientation video claims, campers do not always co-exist in peace and harmony. The camp is not run with superior efficiency. And prophecies do not flow forth with great regularity.
Sprinkled throughout are stories from heroes who have called Camp Half-Blood home or just passed through on their way to places unknown. And, of course, divine words of wisdom from the god Apollo himself are included, because the demigod authors would prefer not to be struck down by him, thank you very much.Frequently asked questions
