More about Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief
Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is about to be expelled from boarding school again. Despite his efforts, trouble finds him—like when he defends his friend from a bully or battles a monster disguised as his teacher. No one believes him, and he doubts himself until a Minotaur chases him to summer camp.
Percy discovers that mythical creatures and the gods of Mount Olympus are real and active in the modern world. Worse, Zeus's lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the main suspect. He has just ten days to find and return it to prevent a war among the gods.
On a daring journey from New York to Los Angeles, Percy and his friends—a satyr and Athena’s demigod daughter—face numerous enemies. Percy must not only catch the true thief but also reconcile with his estranged father, solve the Oracle's riddle of betrayal, and uncover a deeper treachery threatening the gods.
