Rick Riordan Percy Jackson and the Olympians The Lightning Thief Book 1

If 12-year-old Percy Jackson had been told yesterday that he was actually the son of Poseidon and that the ancient Greek myths were not myths at all, he would have laughed heartily. Today, Percy is in no mood for jokes: he was nearly torn apart by a fury, his best friend turned out to be a satyr, and the boy himself turned out to be a demigod. And that's not the worst of it: he is accused of stealing Zeus' lightning bolt.If Percy doesn't find the real thief within ten days, a war between the gods is inevitable. Suspecting Hades, the god of the dead, of being at work, the boy and his friends embark on a dangerous journey to the realm of shadows, the end of which, however, will be completely different from what he expected.
From the New York Times bestselling author Rick Riordan. The books in the series have been made into a movie.
