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.

i'm in love with the books and you my be suprised since i'm in 4th grade but this book is amazing
This book has great parts in it and really make you want to not stop reading it,it also has some parts that just make you burst into laughter,I really like this book and I literally read the book in one day which is really cool but the book just drags you into the story and I think the author did a really good job in making a story out of Greek mythology in a great way!
I only saw the movies, but want the book, badly!
WARNING THIS BOOK REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS This is a page turning boom that will keep you up ALL night. It’s about a boy who is son of Poseidon. In the beggining, the boy, Percy, has a completely normal life until he finds out he is a half blood. A half blood is a daughter or son that was born with a god and a normal human. I know I’m not writing a lot about the book but I don’t want to spoil the book too much. The interest level and reading level would be 4-8 grade. You will love this series! I completely recommend this book. -SS

When he meets his new friend Annabeth daughter of Athena things get bad. Someone has stolen Zeus’s lightning bolt. Percy Jackson was blamed. Who really did it? Read “Percy Jackson the Lightning Thief” to find out. I really liked this book because it was full of action and adventure. The reading level is grades 3-8 but the interest level is 5-8. I think that people who are interested in Greek mythology and action would really enjoy this book.

This is the start to the best book series I've EVER read.😛
This book is good for people who like Greek gods and goddesses, mythology, and ancient culture. If you like this series you might want to read the 39 Clues series as well. Happy reading!
Amazing book
