However, there are a couple of potential connections to New Jersey:
* The Camp Half-Blood location: While the camp is not actually in New Jersey, its location is described as being somewhere in the woods of Long Island, near the New York/Connecticut border. Long Island itself is a relatively short distance from New Jersey, so it's plausible that Percy might have been aware of the state or even visited during his time at camp.
* The "Hero of Half-Blood" prophecy: While the prophecy isn't directly related to New Jersey, it's worth noting that it mentions the "son of the Big Three" who will "destroy the world." As New Jersey is often associated with the "Garden State," it's possible that the prophecy could be interpreted to suggest that the destruction would occur in New Jersey, although this is purely speculative.
Ultimately, while Percy Jackson's adventures don't specifically take place in New Jersey, the state's proximity to key locations in the series and its cultural associations could be considered interesting connections.
