The story of Percy Jackson begins with his being kicked out of school again which soon becomes 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 mythology textbook and into his life, not to mention the fact that he has discovered he’s the descendent of the Greek God, Poseidon. 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. With the help of some friends, he begins a quest to settle an ongoing battle between the gods that could change life on earth forever.
