This book is so good, and it's the fist book of the Percy Jackson series. The story is written with a sort of a modern feel. Riordan Rick wrote this as if he were a teenage boy, and that's what makes it interesting. Also, the titles he put for the chapters makes you wonder what he's talking about, but once you read it, you'll understand what the titles mean.
The story is quite simple.

Percy Jackson is a 12-year-old boy who goes to a private school called Yancy. He is dyslexic and has ADHD. When on a field trip to a museum, he is attacked by his math teacher, who is a Fury in disguise. He finds out that he is the son of a Greek God. He is sent to Camp Half-Blood, a camp for demigods, half-human, half-god, like himself. When Zeus's master bolt goes missing, Percy is accused of stealing it and must find it before the summer solstice or else there will be a huge war between Poseidon and Zeus. With 10 days before the solstice, Percy sets off to find the master bolt with Annabeth, daughter of Athena, and Grover, a satyr. But will he find it in time?
