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 love this book it is the best
Best book ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Percy Jackson and the lighting thief is a awsome book because Percy, Annabeth and Grover all go on a quest when they have to find the master bolt and return it to Zeus.:)
I enjoyed the book very much. Action and comedy are common and a wonderful part of this book! It's a great book for anyone that likes mythology (Greek), and is a very picky reader!
The book and Gracie novel is cool but, it'll leaves out key details that happen in the book. Percy Jackson is not my favorite group of books but, reading the book and the grafuc novel helped my find another great group of books so, I recommend this book.
i already see the movie and it's really cool. and at the same time is scary well not really
