Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Theif

   Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of a boarding school...again. And that's the least of his troubles. Lately, mythological creatures and the gods of Mount Olympus seem to be walking straight out of the pages of Percy's Greek mythology textbook and into his life. And worse, he's angered a few of them. Zeus's master lightning blot has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect.
   Now, Percy and his friends have just ten days to find and return Zeus's stolen property and bring peace to a warring Mount Olympus. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the true theif: he must come to terms with the father who abandoned him; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves.
"Excelent book. I was up until late reading with great curiousity of what would come next." Taylor Nikolaus

"Perfectly paced, with electrifying moments chasind each other like heartbeats" New York Times Book Review
