Percy
Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school...again. And that’s the
least of his troubles. Lately, mythological monsters and the gods of Mount
Olympus seem to be walking straight out of the pages of Percy’s Greek mythology
textbook and into his life. And worse, he’s angered a few of them. Zeus’s
master lightning bolt has been stolen and Percy is the prime suspect.

Now Percy
has ten days to find and return Zeus’s stolen property and bring peace to a
warring Mount Olympus. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more
than catch the true thief: he must come to terms with the father who abandoned
him; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend;
and unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves. Based on the
popular book series by Rick Riordan.
