Well, the gods of Mt. Olympus have been at it again. They’ve been interfering with the lives of mere mortals. Poor twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of yet another boarding school for causing trouble during a class field trip. But he had to defend himself against his pre-algebra-teacher-turned-monster. After all, she was trying to kill him! When the Minotaur chases Percy to a summer camp for half-bloods, Percy begins to understand the life he has been dealt.

Best Book ever! Read the sequel, it really closes some questions, but opens up new ones. This book is full of thrills, chills, and I reccommend it to anyone who likes adventure
I agree with Javier, this book is wonderful and very exciting. The Lightning Thief is a wonderful mixture of reality and mythology. The main character, Percy, is real, not a perfect character, but full of his own problems. By writing Percy in this way, Riordan has allowed his readers to connect to Percy and his flaws.
