From Rick Riordan comes a fast-paced mythological adventure about monsters, gods, friendship, and discovering that the stories you thought were myths might actually be real.

Percy Jackson has never felt like he fits in. He struggles at school, gets into trouble without meaning to, and has always sensed that something about his life is different. When strange and dangerous things start happening around him, Percy learns the truth: he is a demigod, the son of Poseidon.

Sent to Camp Half-Blood, a hidden camp for children of the Greek gods, Percy begins to understand the world he has been thrown into. But safety does not last long. Zeus’s master lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is accused of taking it.

With his friends Annabeth and Grover by his side, Percy sets out on a dangerous quest across the United States to find the real thief, return the bolt, and stop a war between the gods.

Funny, adventurous, and full of heart, The Lightning Thief explores friendship, courage, identity, and the power of finding where you belong.
