Perseus Jackson has been in trouble for his entire life. Bullies, teachers, grades; Everything he touches seems to fall apart under his fingertips. Most recently, it was the plumbing in his mother's flat, and before that, he'd somehow managed to break every water fountain in his old school, all at the exact same time? Not even the plumber could explain that one. But now, Percy is going to a new school, and he has a new opportunity to prove himself and give his mother something to be proud of him for... But how long will it take before he breaks something at this school too?
