In this novella, you get a little intro from Percy and he checks in every now and then. But mostly it contains chapters and stories from many of the other campers, mainly the Cabin heads.
You also get a chapter from Chiron, interviews with recurring characters and descriptions of all the places in the camp. You get some history on Camp Half-Blood and, in true Rick Riordan fashion, it's told hilariously. There are illustrations and little tidbits from the orientation film Apollo made for the camp about (I think) a 100 years ago. The orientation film is the reason from the book. It was so bad that the campers decided they needed something better to inform new campers of how things worked.
It's worth the read in my opinion. But if you're one of those people who are going to whine about Rick Riordan trying to "squeeze more money out of the Percy Jackson franchise", just steer clear. Let us others have our fun.

It was cute, I liked getting to see all the ins and outs of daily life at camp half-blood. I'm going to read the Camp Jupiter one next, I'm curious to see how different they are!
