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.

great book loved it
The was an amazing book. I loved the suspense and all the action in it. It was a great start to his series.
This is a must read for all ages
it was awesome
The percy Jackson series is my top favorite with the adventures,action and romance between Percy and annabeth.
Same here I litterely just finished reading that book
This book is a perfect twist on fantasy and, in my standards, it is a near perfect book. (I totally knew that he was the son of Poseidon even before the book told me.) I love this book! I'm going to read "The Sea of monsters" next.
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief: By Rick Riordan Percy Jackson is a normal kid, well except for the fact that he's been kicked out of a whole lot of school, has been diagnosed with dyslexia and HDHD, which means that he has trouble reading and sitting still. So when he finds out that his best friend is a satyr, a half goat half human mythological creature, and that he's a son of Poseidon, the greek form of the sea god, and needs to be sent away to a magical camp named Camp Half-Blood, it's a lot to take in. And on top of that, his uncle, Zeus, (and yes I mean Zeus with the lightning bolts that could fry you in less than a second) thinks that he stole his master bolt, the center of all his power. To learn more read Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, by Rick Riordan.
This book is amazing. It's hilarious and fun. You should definitely read it.
