Percy
Jackson and the Lightning thief is the first book of the Percy Jackson Series.
It
starts when ‘the problem child’ Percy gets kicked from his boarding school…again.
He is sent to a summer camp, a camp for kids like him, where he finds the Greek
Gods walking straight out of his textbooks .
His
Latin teacher turns out to be a centaur who has trained great heroes like
Achilles and his best friend turns out to be a satyr, half man half goat, his
protector.
And that’s the least of his troubles. The king
of the gods, Zeus has lost the lightning bolt, the source of his power. The
gods suspect Percy and he has to bring it back to prove himself innocent.
He is warned of a friend who will betray him,
and to solve that riddle Percy must first find the lightning bolt. He suspects
this quest has something to do with his father who abandoned him, and his
mother who died saving him.
“You shall go west, and face the god who
has turned
You
shall find what was stolen, and see it safe returned
You shall be betrayed by one who calls
you a friend
And you shall fail to save what matters
most, in the end.”
This
is the prophecy he gets from the Oracle, and if he doesn’t catch the culprit,
Mount Olympus, the center of the power of the gods will be destroyed.
To
solve this quest, he must unravel mysteries more ancient than the gods
themselves.
