Rick Riordan
- The Lightning Thief: Percy Jackson and the Olympians
Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. If you're reading this because you think you might be one, my advice is; close this book right now. Believe whatever lie your mom or dad told you about your birth, and try to lead a normal life. Being a half-blood is dangerous. It's scary. Most of the time, it gets you killed in painful, nasty ways. If you're a normal kid, reading this because you think it's fiction, great. Read on. I envy you for being able to believe that none of this ever happened.
