Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan

Percy is a boy who seems to always be around trouble. What (or who) could be the source of these dilemmas? Percy finds out that the cause of all these strange commotions is monsters, (monsters!) when he goes to Camp Half-blood not only for training, but also for safety. When he is sent on a quest to retrieve the head god, Zeus's prized lightning bolt that Percy is thought to have stolen, he meets several new enemies and wins several battles. If Percy doesn't find and return the stolen lightning bolt before the summer solstice, it will mean death for him and all of his friends. Will he survive? In this amazing adventure series Riordan shows you into the world of Greek mythology, including Olympic history. I really love how Riordan gives you a vague clue about what is going to happen in the title of each chapter. It draws you in without actually spoiling anything.
