“Percy Jackson and the Olympians” author Rick Riordan revealed the episode titles for the Disney+ adaptation of the first book in his best-selling series.

The author, who wrote the first two episodes of the eight-episode first season of the show, posted to Instagram to show just how by the book the episode titles go, with one corresponding to each chapter.

“The chapter, er, episode titles for our TV show. When I say we followed the book, this is one example,” Riordan captioned his post. “So looking forward to sharing it with you Dec. 20 on Disney+!”

The eight episodes follow the first eight chapters of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief.” The order goes as follows:

  1. Accidentally Vaporize My Pre-Algebra Teacher

  2. I Become Supreme Lord of the Bathroom

  3. We Visit the Garden Gnome Emporium

  4. I Plunge to My Death

  5. A God Buys Us Cheeseburgers

  6. We Take a Zebra to Vegas

  7. We Find Out the Truth, Sort Of

  8. The Prophecy Comes True
