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.

this book sounds good. I might get it or rent it from the local library or buy it from the book store.
The storyline of this book is centered on a 12 year-old boy named Percy Jackson. Just after the end of 6th grade Percy Jackson finds out that there is something different about him than other kids this age. He is then taken to a camp by his best friend Grover that is safe for other kids like him to train and practice fighting monsters after a nightmarish journey with his mother driving him and Grover and a Minotaur snatching his mother away from them just as they reach camp. At camp, Percy learns more about himself and his godly parent, The God of the Sea -- Poseidon -- and one of the Big 3 brothers which include Poseidon, Zeus, and Hades. Read and find out what happens
I love this book awesome u don't know that's going to happen next it's not that funny but awesome so red it now
저는 이 소설을 굉장히 좋아합니다. 영화로도 봤고요 앞으로 이런 소설들이 많이 생겨나면 좋겠습니다. 해리포터도 정말 좋아합니다. 그리고 아마 이글은 한국인만 볼수 있을 것 입니다. 만약 한국인 이면 저의 방에 들려주세요.^ㅡ^;;
I loved these stories, exciting and funny. May be some what high, but okay to try. Lots of Greek mythology and setting changes.
these books have all the facts wrong, but other than that, it was okay. i would recomend it for everyone, eeven though i hate the books.
I LOVE Percy Jackson. Can't wait to read Mark of Athena. It comes out in October! Why can't it come out sooner. I read the first chapter of the book cause Rick put it up on the site, I wish i hadn't because now I really REALLY want to read it.
This is a great book you should read it and all the other books in this series. If you like these books Rick Riordan writes many other books too.
OMG I'm a total Percy Jackson fan. All the books are so good, and don't forget to read the heros of olympus! Its a great spinoff series.
