In this fast paced novel, 12 year old Percy just can't seem to get along with his stepdad. When they butt heads once too often, Percy gets sent to a camp for "problem" kids; Camp Halfblood. But pretty soon, Percy finds out that his troubles aren't just bad luck; they're his destiny! Percy's real name is Perseus, and he is the half blood son of a human woman, and Posiedon, the Greek god of the Ocean! Now, it's great to have power over earthquakes, and to never have to worry about drowning, but Percy's dad is in real trouble. Someone has framed Posiedon!
Zeus, the chief god of Olympus, is convinced that Posiedon has stolen his lightning bolt, the source of his power. Only Percy and his half blood friends can slip into Hades, and find out who's really behind this dastardly deed!
Half mystery, half fantasy, and all fun, this book packs a whole lot of adventure (and Greek mythology) into an exciting book. Watch for the sequel, The Sea of Monsters!
