Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief (Book 1) - Percy Jackson and The Olympians (Paperback)
Rick Riordan (author)Published: 04/07/2013
The first book in the bestselling Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. Now with a new cover look, read the story that launched Percy Jackson into the stratosphere, before the Disney+ series comes out!
HALF BOY - HALF GOD - ALL HERO.
Look, I never asked to be the son of a Greek god. I was just a normal kid. . . until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher.
Percy Jackson is having a bad week. His life has gone from totally normal to monsters-from-Greek-mythology-randomly-appearing kind of strange. Worse still, the king of the gods thinks Percy has stolen his all-powerful lightning bolt - and it seems making Zeus angry is a very bad idea.
Now Percy and his friends have just ten days to catch the true lightning thief and stop all-out war from erupting on Mount Olympus. . .
What could possible go wrong?

“a fast-paced adventure for young readers”
This is a clever and original concept, and I love the idea of bringing the ancient gods to the 21st Century USA. There is a strong cast of characters from the sometimes-too-brave Percy, to the slightly arrogant but... More
