What if the gods of Olympus were alive in the 21st century? What if they were still falling in love, starting wars, and having children with mortals?
Meet Percy Jackson, a twelve-year-old boy who just found out he’s one of those children — a demigod, the son of Poseidon, God of the Sea.

In Rick Riordan’s internationally bestselling novel Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief, Percy’s world changes overnight when Zeus’s master lightning bolt is stolen — and he’s the prime suspect. With monsters chasing him and the gods on the brink of war, Percy embarks on a dangerous cross-country quest with his friends Annabeth Chase and Grover Underwood to find the real thief, recover the bolt, and restore peace to Olympus.

Fast-paced, witty, and rich with Greek mythology, this first book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series blends humor, heart, and heroism in a modern setting. It’s a story about discovering who you are, facing your fears, and learning that even the smallest hero can change the fate of the gods.

A timeless favorite for fans of Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, and Heroes of Olympus, The Lightning Thief is not just a fantasy adventure — it’s a myth come alive for a new generation.
