The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

The New York Times #1 best-selling series

The Lightning Thiefbook 1 in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series

  " Percy Jackson is about to get kicked out of boarding school ...again. But that's 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 Greek mythology textbook and into his life. But worse, he's angered a few of them. Zeus's master bolt has been stolen, and Percy is prime suspect.
   Now Percy and his friends have just 10 days to find and return Zeus's stolen property and bring peace to a warring Mount Olympus. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the thief: he must come to terms with his father who abandoned him; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of the betrayal of a friend; and unravel a treachery  more powerful than the gods themselves."


This book is probably for boys and girls from 8 to 11.
