Dear Young Demigod,
If you are reading this book, I can only apologize. Your life
is about to get much more dangerous.
By now, you have probably realized that you are not a
mortal. This book is meant to serve as an inside look at
the world of demigods that no regular human child would
be allowed to see. As senior scribe at Camp Half-Blood, I
hope the top-secret information within will give you some tips
and insights that may keep you alive during your training.
The Demigod Files contains three of Percy Jackson’s most
dangerous adventures never before committed to paper. You
will learn how he encountered the immortal and terrible sons
of Ares. You will find out the truth about the bronze dragon,
long considered to be only a Camp Half-Blood legend. And
you will discover how Hades gained a new secret weapon, as
well as how Percy was forced to play an unwitting part in its
creation. These stories are not meant to terrify you, but it is
important that you realize just how perilous the life of a hero
can be.
Chiron has also given me clearance to share confi-
dential interviews with some of our most important
Copyrighted Material

[1]
campers, including Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase and
Grover Underwood. Please keep in mind that these interviews
were given in strictest confidence. Share this information
with any non-demigod and you may find Clarisse coming
after you with her electric spear. Believe me, you do not want
that.
Study these pages well, for your own adventures have only
just begun. May the gods be with you, young demigod!

Yours truly,

Rick Riordan

THE INNER CIRCLE!

Okay, it’s not every day that you’ll find yourself battling a dough-
nut-eating monster but, for the sake of argument, let’s say you did.
These are the guys you’d want around as your back-up team.

(NB I only added Clarisse ’cause she’s got me

out of a few scraps. Really, I hate her.)

Name: CHIRON
Gender: Male-slash-horse
Age: Like, really, really old, man!
Location: Camp Half-Blood, Long Island, New York
Occupation: Activities Director at Camp Half-Blood
About Chiron: Chiron’s dad is none other than the scariest Titan of them
all, Kronos. The same Titan who wants to kill ME!
Body type: When he’s in his wheelchair you wouldn’t know that he’s a
centaur. From the waist up he looks like a regular middle-aged guy: curly
brown hair, check. Scraggly beard, check. But from the waist down
he’s a white stallion!

Name: ANNABETH CHASE

Gender: Female
Age: 13 and a half (and apparently way more mature than me)
Location: San Francisco
Quote: Always, always have a plan.
About Annabeth: She’s had a kinda tough life. She ran away from home
when she was seven because her dad got remarried and then she hung
around with Luke and Thalia for a while before coming to camp.
Status: Why does everybody think Annabeth and I are a couple?
She’s just my friend, seriously!
Copyrighted Material
Body type: 179cm, kinda athletic, I guess, blonde hair, grey eyes.

[6]
 Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters Rick Riordan

Name: G
 ROVER UNDERWOOD
AKA THE G-MAN
Gender: Male-slash-goat
Age: 26 (but satyrs mature twice as slowly as humans, so he’s really 13)
Location: Camp Half-Blood, Long Island, New York
Quote: Give a hoot, don’t pollute!
Best feature: You’ll never have a problem with recycling when the
G-man is around. He’ll eat all your aluminium cans!
Body type: Barnyard. He has shaggy legs and hooves. His top half is . . .
um, very buff. Yes, very . . .
About the G-man: He’s a satyr: half man, half goat. He finally got
his searcher’s licence to find the missing god Pan, but he keeps getting
interrupted! Oh well, at least the Cyclopes didn’t eat him.

Name: TYSON
Gender: Cyclops (but don’t worry, he’s a goodie)
Age: 14 going on 4
Location: Poseidon’s palace, somewhere at the bottom of the sea
Body type: Huge, bulky and yeah, oh right, he only has one eye.
About Tyson: He’s had it kinda rough too. As the child of a nature spirit
and a god (okay, my dad, Poseidon), he was cast out and tossed aside.
Tyson had to grow up on the streets, until I found him, that is.

Name: CLARISSE
Gender: Female (ish)
Age: I’m too scared to ask.
Quote: Hey, Prissy (aka Percy), get ready to be pulverized!
Location: Camp Half-Blood, Long Island, New York
Body type: Big and ugly and real mean-looking.
About Clarisse: I’m gonna give you a massive heads-up
here. All you need to know about Clarisse is that her father is Ares.
Who’s he? Only the GOD OF WAR!

I was in fifth-period science class when I heard these
noises outside.
SCRAWK! OW! SCREECH! ‘HIYA!’
Like somebody was getting attacked by possessed
poultry, and, believe me, that’s a situation I’ve been in
before. Nobody else seemed to notice the commotion. We
were in the lab, so everybody was talking, and it wasn’t
hard for me to go look out the window while I pretended
to wash out my beaker.
Sure enough, there was a girl in the alley with her
sword drawn. She was tall and muscular like a basketball
player, with stringy brown hair and jeans, combat boots
and a denim jacket. She was hacking at a flock of black
birds the size of ravens. Feathers stuck out of her clothes
in several places. A cut was bleeding over her left eye. As
I watched, one ofCopyrighted
the birds shotMaterial
a feather like an arrow,
[ 11 ]
and it lodged in her shoulder. She cursed and sliced at the
bird, but it flew away.
Unfortunately, I recognized the girl. It was Clarisse,
my old enemy from demigod camp. Clarisse usually lived
at Camp Half-Blood year-round. I had no idea what she
was doing on the Upper East Side in the middle of a
school day, but she was obviously in trouble. She wouldn’t
last much longer.
I did the only the thing I could.
‘Mrs White,’ I said, ‘can I go to the restroom? I feel
like I’m going to puke.’
You know how teachers tell you the magic word is
please? That’s not true. The magic word is puke. It will get
you out of class faster than anything else.
‘Go!’ Mrs White said.
I ran out the door, stripping off my safety goggles,
gloves and lab apron. I got out my weapon – a ballpoint
pen called Riptide.
Nobody stopped me in the halls. I exited by the gym.
I got to the alley just in time to see Clarisse smack a devil
bird with the flat of her sword like she was hitting a home
run. The bird squawked and spiralled away, slamming
against the brick wall and sliding into a trashcan. That
still left a dozen more swarming around her.
‘Clarisse!’ I yelled.
