The Lightning Thief is one of the best books I've read in a very long time. It is a great story and well written. Percy Jackson is a lot like Harry Potter, but more believable, injected with Greek mythology rather than magic. Percy is a 12-year-old troublemaker who suddenly finds himself faced with monthers and mythical creatures. He arrives at Camp Half-Blood, where he learns that he is the son of a god, but his father is still a mystery. As more of his ancestry is revealed, it becomes clear that Percy is being framed for a serious theft and is in danger. Along with his friends, Annabeth, daughter of Athena, and Grover, a satyr assigned to protect Percy, he sets off on a quest to find Zeus's master bolt, return it before the Summer Solstice deadline to avoid war among the gods, and rescue his mother from Hades. Along the way, Percy discovers he can't always trust who he wants to, accepts his demigod abilities, and learns that there may be something lurking that is far worse than the fury of the Olympians.
