About the book

The Last Olympian is a children's fantasy adventure drawn from Greek mythology and written by Rick Riordan. It closes the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series and follows directly on from The Battle of the Labyrinth. Fifteen-year-old Percy Jackson, a son of Poseidon, must lead his fellow demigods from Camp Half-Blood as the Titan lord Kronos, who has taken over the body of the demigod Luke, marches an army toward New York. While the gods are occupied elsewhere, the young heroes make a stand to defend Mount Olympus.
