Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

Author: Rick Riordan

Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. I never asked to be the son of a Greek god.

I was just a normal kid, going to school, playing basketball, skateboarding. The usual. Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher. That's when things started really going wrong. Now I spend my time fighting with swords, battling monsters with my friends and generally trying to stay alive.

This is the one where Zeus, God of the Sky, thinks I've stolen his lightning bolt - and making Zeus angry is a very bad idea.

Can Percy find the lightning bolt before a fully fledged WAR OF THE GODS ERUPTS?

'What do you want from me?' she screamed.
'What have you done with him?'

'Annabeth,' said the bald dude, Butch, 'we gotta leave.  Let's get these three to camp and figure it out there.  Those storm spirits might come back.'

She fumed for a moment.  'Fine.'  She fixed Jason with a resentful look. ...
