Publisher Description
The #1 New York Times Bestseller | Now a series on Disney+
12-year-old Percy Jackson discovers he is the son of Poseidon in the opener to the hilarious, fast-paced adventure fantasy series for young readers ages 10 and up
The eBook edition of the first book in Rick Riordan's thrilling series, filled with magic, mythology, and plenty of monsters
Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school again—he can't seem to stay out of trouble. Is he supposed to stand by while a bully picks on his scrawny best friend? Or not defend himself when his teacher turns into a monster and tries to kill him?
Mythical creatures seem to be walking straight out of the pages of Percy's Greek mythology textbook and into his life. What's worse, he's angered a few of them: Zeus's master lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect.
Percy and his friends Grover the satyr, and Annabeth, the demigod daughter of Athena, must find and return Zeus's stolen property and bring peace to a warring Mount Olympus. They travel cross country to the gates of the Underworld in Los Angeles, facing a host of enemies determined to stop them.
Withmillions of copies and over 10 years spent on the New York Times bestseller list, Percy has also become a movie, a Broadway musical, and now a Disney+ series. He continues to find fans in classrooms and libraries across the world.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
What if one day you discovered that your long-absent father—who you’ve only been told is “lost at sea”—was actually the Greek god Poseidon? That’s the thrilling premise of the first installment of Rick Riordan’s action-packed Percy Jackson series. Teen misfit Percy struggles to make peace with his new identity as a demigod—and embarks on a dangerous quest to recover a lightning bolt that’s been taken from Zeus. The Lightning Thief is a smart pageturner that weaves together clever mythological references with relatable lessons about the importance of family and friendship.
