Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school . . . again. No matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to stay out of trouble. But can he really be expected to stand by and watch while a bully picks on his scrawny best friend? Or not defend himself against his pre-algebra teacher when she turns into a monster and tries to kill him? Of course, no one believes Percy about the monster incident; he's not even sure he believes himself.

Until the Minotaur chases him to summer camp.

Suddenly, mythical creatures seem to be walking straight out of the pages of Percy's Greek mythology textbook and into his life. The gods of Mount Olympus, he's coming to realize, are very much alive in the twenty-first century. And worse, he's angered a few of them: Zeus's master lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect.

Now Percy has just ten days to find and return Zeus's stolen property, and bring peace to a warring Mount Olympus. On a daring road trip from their summer camp in New York to the gates of the Underworld in Los Angeles, Percy and his friends–one a satyr and the other the demigod daughter of Athena–will face a host of enemies determined to stop them. To succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the true thief: he must come to terms with the father who abandoned him; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of failure and betrayal by a friend; and unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves.

±1±: Best Buy Do you like fantasy? Myths? How about the Greek Gods? If you answered all of those questions 'Yes!', then this is the book for you. When a young, middle school aged boy named Percy Jackson finds out that he is a son of a Greek God, or "demigod", he decides to go to Camp Half-Blood, a place filled with satyrs, tree nymphs, and more! Percy is liking it there when his half-goat half-human friend, Grover, introduces him to "Mr. D", the camp director, and they find out that something is up. A few days later, Percy is offered a quest! Together, the three friends Grover, Annabeth, and Percy embark on a thrilling adventure to prevent World War Three... or start it.

I found this book fast-moving and full of adventure. The world of the Greek Gods is cleverly animated with the present reality. This stunning writing debut by Rick Riordan is, well, magical! on Sale!
