Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson has always felt out of place—until he discovers that the myths of ancient Greece are real and that he is at the center of a divine crisis. At a hidden camp for demigods, Percy learns that Zeus’s master bolt has been stolen and sets out across America with unlikely companions to recover it before the gods’ suspicions ignite a devastating conflict. Pursued by legendary monsters and challenged by prophecies, loyalties, and a father he has never known, Percy must find courage and trust his instincts. Blending fast-paced adventure, humor, and Greek mythology, the novel launches a beloved coming-of-age fantasy series about friendship, identity, and heroism.
