“This is the book that sparked my interest in Greek mythology! It's the first book in a series that follows Percy Jackson, who discovers that he is the son of the Greek god Poseidon, contending with threats against the gods and Camp Half Blood, where all the demigods spend their summers.”
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief
Review by Hattie Williams

Look, I never asked to be the song of a Greek god, I was just a normal kid – until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher. Percy Jackson is having a bad week. His life has gone from totally normal to monsters-from-Greek-mythology-randomly-appearing kind of strange. Worse still, the king of the gods thinks Percy has stolen his all-powerful lightning bolt – and it seems making Zeus angry is a very bad idea. Now Percy and his friends have just ten days to catch the true lightning thief and stop all-out war from erupting on Mount Olympus.
