Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school... again. No matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to stay out of trouble. But can he really be expected to stand by and watch while a bully picks on his scrawny best friend? Or not defend himself against his pre-algebra teacher when she turns into a monster and tries to kill him? Of course, no one believes Percy about the monster incident; he's not even sure he believes himself. Until the Minotaur chases him to summer camp. Suddenly, mythical creatures seem to be walking straight out of the pages of Percy's Greek mythology textbook and into his life. The gods of Mount Olympus, he's coming to realize, are very much alive in the twenty-first century. And worse, he's angered a few of them: Zeus's master lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect. Now Percy has just ten days to find and return Zeus's stolen property, and bring peace to a warring Mount Olympus. On a daring road trip from their summer camp in New York to the gates of the Underworld in Los Angeles, Percy and his friends -- one a satyr and the other the demigod daughter of Athena -- will face a host of enemies determined to stop them. To succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the true thief: he must come to terms with the father who abandoned him; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of failure and betrayal by a friend; and unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves.

I read the Percy Jackson series because my brother recommended it to me. I ended up liking it a lot. It's action- packed, and you never get bored while reading this. I found myself carrying the books everywhere, never being able to set it down. I strongly recommend this book to readers who like fantasy/ fiction/ action books.
i love the percy jackson series! It's the best book ever!!!!
This is meant to be the first book alone but, I couldn't find it separate. For preference, this review is for the first book only. The book is a great show of Rick's writing, but the explanation of demi-gods is vague for the needed amount for the reader/Percy.
I read it 5 star i read all of the rick riordan books
