Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. How old is Percy?

Answer: 12 years old

"My name is Percy Jackson.
I'm twelve years old."
Percy writes this at the beginning of the book.
2. What school for "troubled kids" is Percy at, to start with?

Answer: Yancy Academy

"Until a few months ago, I was a boarding student at Yancy Academy, a private school for troubled kids. Am I a troubled kid? Yeah, you could say that."
He says this after he writes about his age and name.
Nancy Bobofit is a nasty kid who goes there and lives to annoy and torture Percy and Grover in every way possible.
3. Where do Percy and his mum go to on holiday, before they are attacked by the minotaur?

Answer: Montauk

Montauk is where Percy's mum met Percy's dad. She and Percy used to go there every summer until she married again.
4. What is Percy's stepdad's name?

Answer: Gabe

Gabe is Percy's horrible annoying step dad who stinks, has bad taste in about everything and can sniff money out anywhere (you would have thought his bad stench would block out everything else, but no).
5. What is Percy's stepdad's full name?

Answer: Gabriel Ugliano

"Ugliano" is a name that suits Gabe perfectly, don't you think? Although "Gabriel" does not.
6. What does Percy see outside the bus?

Answer: Three old ladies knitting humungous socks

They cut thread, and Grover gets really worried. It means someone is going to die.
7. What is the name of the monster that came after Percy, Grover and his mum?

Answer: Minotaur

The minotaur could not see or hear that well, but could smell alright.
When Percy and his mum were staying at Montauk, Grover knocked on the door and told Percy's mum "It's right behind me". They got in the car and Percy's mum went as fast as she could to Half Blood Hill. At this point Percy had no idea what was going on.
8. Who dies in this book?

Answer: None of these

Percy originally thought that the minotaur killed his mother, but he was wrong, as Ares explained. The minotaur was about to kill her, but she was turned into a shower of gold (metamorphosis) and she was being kept. - ""You sure you can handle the news?" He kick-started his motorcycle. "She's not dead."
The ground seemed to spin beneath me. "What do you mean?"
"I mean she was taken away from the Minotaur before she could die. She turned into a shower of gold, right? That's metamorphosis. Not death. She's being kept." - This is what Ares told Percy just before they hid in the back of zoo express.
9. What is the name of the camp they go to?

Answer: Camp Half-Blood

10. Who does Percy see at the camp, that he knows from school? (besides Grover)

Answer: His Latin teacher

Percy's Latin teacher (otherwise known as Chiron) was only working at that school because Percy was there. It was because Grover thought he "might be something special".
11. What was Grover?

Answer: A satyr

Grover was a satyr working undercover as a schoolboy, looking for half bloods so that he could get his searcher's license.
12. What was the name of the girl who looked after Percy and went with him on the quest?

Answer: Annabeth

Annabeth looked after Percy when he was ill after fighting the minotaur. She also came on his quest.
13. What god was Percy's father?

Answer: Poseidon, sea god

Poseidon claimed Percy after "Capture the flag".
14. What was Percy's quest?

Answer: To retrieve the lightning bolt and bring it back to Olympus

Percy saw the oracle before he went. The oracle told him what would happen.
15. Percy saw the oracle (a spirit who tells you prophecies). People who do quests see the oracle beforehand and are told what will happen. Finish the prophecy. "You shall go west and face the god who has turned, you shall find what was stolen and see it safely returned-"

Answer: "-you shall be betrayed by one who calls you a friend, and you shall fail to save what matters most, in the end."

It comes true, in an unexpected way.
16. Who came with Percy on the quest?

Answer: Annabeth and Grover

Grover came because he wanted to get a searcher's license so he could go look for the great god Pan.
17. They met Ares on the quest.

Answer: True

Ares asked them to go and get his shield which he had accidentally left on a love ride where he'd been with his girlfriend. When they got there, there were loads of cameras everywhere and they were going to be live in Olympus. A load of robot spiders came and attacked; Annabeth is terrified of spiders.

They had to get out because those spiders were supposed to attack gods, who couldn't die. Percy, Annabeth and Grover could and would die. They had to get out of the ride quickly. They managed, and Grover's flying shoes helped.
18. The questers went to the Underworld and met Hades. What did Hades say?

Answer: That Percy had the lightning bolt

Percy did have the lightning; Ares put it in Percy's bag. Percy didn't know until Hades told them.
19. What camp counsellor befriended then betrayed Percy?

Answer: Luke

Luke was never the same after his quest. When he started having dreams from Kronos, he gave in gladly.
20. What is the first name of the daughter of Zeus who is turned into a pine tree?

Answer: Thalia

Thalia is Zeus's daughter, and when her friends were in danger from monsters she sacrificed herself on the hill; they were going to kill her but in the end her father took pity on her and turned her into a tree. The tree helps to protect Camp Half Blood. We find out a lot more about her in the next two books.
