Alternate cover for this ISBN can be found herePercy Jackson is a good kid, but he can't seem to focus on his schoolwork or control his temper. And lately, being away at boarding school is only getting worse - Percy could have sworn his pre-algebra teacher turned into a monster and tried to kill him. When Percy's mom finds out, she knows it's time that he knew the truth about where he came from, and that he go to the one place he'll be safe.

There are alternate cover editions for this ASIN here and here.If you ain’t scared, you ain’t human. When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name.

Outside the towering stone walls that surround the Glade is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It’s the only way out—and no one’s ever made it through alive. Everything is going to change.

‘Armageddon only happens once, you know. They don’t let you go around again until you get it right.’People have been predicting the end of the world almost from its very beginning, so it’s only natural to be sceptical when a new date is set for Judgement Day. But what if, for once, the predictions are right, and the apocalypse really is due to arrive next Saturday, just after tea?You could spend the time left drowning your sorrows, giving away all your possessions in preparation for the rapture, or laughing it off as (hopefully) just another hoax. Or you could just try to do something about it.It’s a predicament that Aziraphale, a somewhat fussy angel, and Crowley, a fast-living demon now finds themselves in. They’ve been living amongst Earth’s mortals since The Beginning and, truth be told, have grown rather fond of the lifestyle and, in all honesty, are not actually looking forward to the coming Apocalypse.And then there’s the small matter that someone appears to have misplaced the Antichrist…

before we start;a READERS ATTENTION!:Rick Riordan's series Order:first, Percy Jacksonthen  Heroes of Olympus at last, Trials of Apollo &amp; Magnus Chase is happening at the same time; they have crossovers sometimes.(or read in this order: Camp Half-Blood Chronicles)I warned everywhere I could, because I'm nervous you might read in wrong order &amp; you won't enjoy as much as you should.anyway...generally I love those fantasy stories happening in our world, they're apparently named low fantasy, but I call them: Fantasy in reality. (&amp; not just my favourite in books, but movies &amp; tv shows too)When fantasy elements bind in reality; we know a boring damn world (reality) &amp; then... magic came! or myths or travel between universes. I live in that world (as a reader lives a thousands of lives) &amp; I feel happy.also familiar sense in other way like I know places &amp; cities (I mean in almost all high fantasy stories I'm just confused with the strange names &amp; wondering where they were.)&amp; even heroes have been shocked when they actually entered their fantasy world. (so they know that world with me &amp; I can relate with their surprise, feelings, fears, etc)so it made very easy to believe they can be real, somewhere, somehow, in a corner of this world magic exists (Harry Potter), you can travel to parallel universes (Pendragon) or mythology lives among us. (Percy Jackson)my top fav series has another features too: they are about the subjects I actually love to know about in science. (magic, parallel universes, Myths)&amp; now whole review of one of my favourite series:Complete 5 Golden StarsIdea: ★★★★★/5I said thousand times that I love love love mythology, especially Greek mythology. -World building: ★★★★★/5mythology in fantasy, sign me in!I love how myths wrapped up in reality &amp; how this fiction built up. &amp; monsters, rules of this world, Demigods, villains... everything seems real &amp; realistic! I love realistic fictions. when you can just simply imagine the story is actually happening somewhere in this world. U know what I mean?

Martin Banks is just a normal guy who has made an abnormal discovery: he can manipulate reality, thanks to reality being nothing more than a computer program. With every use of this ability, though, Martin finds his little “tweaks” have not escaped notice. Rather than face prosecution, he decides instead to travel back in time to the Middle Ages and pose as a wizard.What could possibly go wrong?An American hacker in King Arthur’s court, Martin must now train to become a full-fledged master of his powers, discover the truth behind the ancient wizard Merlin… and not, y’know, die or anything.

IN THE YEAR 2044, reality is an ugly place. The only time teenage Wade Watts really feels alive is when he's jacked into the virtual utopia known as the OASIS. Wade's devoted his life to studying the puzzles hidden within this world's digital confines, puzzles that are based on their creator's obsession with the pop culture of decades past and that promise massive power and fortune to whoever can unlock them. But when Wade stumbles upon the first clue, he finds himself beset by players willing to kill to take this ultimate prize. The race is on, and if Wade's going to survive, he'll have to win—and confront the real world he's always been so desperate to escape.
