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.

cool book
A quirky take on Greek mythology with a narrator who will make you laugh out loud!. rick riodan is a talented author and i highly recommend this book to all kids of all ages. i was very surprised that i picked up facts that were hidden among the humor that have helped me on tests. for me it was a fifteen minute or less read but I've gone back and read it over and over again! My absolute favorite series and i also recommend my other tied for first favorites series Harry Potter series,Hunger games series, Divergent series and Miss Penegrines home for peculiar children series as well Rick riodan is genius. I LOVE his books

have a good time on dogo
I read this book in school and it is cool
i like this book because its based on Greek mythology
I reccommend this book to Harry Potter lovers who are aching for a new burst of magic to explode in a book. As usual in his life, Percy Jackson, a boy born with dyslexia and HDHD is doing not so great at boarding school at the last month of the school year when - gasp! - something weird happens to him for the ?? time in his life. But this is weirder than usual. I mean, how many times does your math teacher suddenly become a flying hag with a whip and attack you? But that's just the beginning. Percy finds himself with much more weirdness, from a centaur to a murderous massage bed. With magic worthy of Albus Dumbledore, Rick Riordan spins a tale much appealing from beginning to end, adding his own addictive spark of modern mythology.
