Product description

Percy’s half-god, half-mortal – and in a whole load of trouble! See him battle gods and monsters in his first storming mission. (Then read all the rest.) Dyslexic New Yorker Percy Jackson is used to bullies and angry teachers. But when he finds out he’s the son of scary Greek god Poseidon, he goes from playing basketball to battling monsters. Yikes! Now he’s being packed off to Half-Blood Hill, the Long Island camp where the offspring of Greek gods are trained. There’s just one teensy problem. Zeus, the ultra-scary boss god, thinks Percy has stolen his lightning bolt. Now things are going VERY WRONG INDEED. Can Percy find it before a war of the gods erupts?

  • First in this bestselling and hugely acclaimed series
  • Percy is a fantastic hero – a dyslexic modern demigod
  • Bursting with action, battles, monsters and humour
  • Funny, original and thrilling take on Greek myths

Rick Riordan is a teacher and a writer, and has won many awards for his mystery novels for adults. He says that the idea for Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief first came to him while he was teaching Greek mythology at middle school in San Francisco. But rumour has it that Camp Half Blood actually exists, and Rick spends his summers there recording the adventures of young demigods. Some believe that, to avoid a mass panic among the mortal population, he was forced to swear on the River Styx to present Percy Jackson’s story as fiction. Rick lives in Texas (apart from his summers on Half Blood Hill) with his wife and two sons.
