The Lightning Thief

Young-adult fiction by Rick Riordan

Blurb

The first book in the bestselling Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. Now with a new cover look, read the story that launched Percy Jackson into the stratosphere, before the Disney+ series comes out! HALF BOY - HALF GOD - ALL HERO. Look, I never asked to be the son of a Greek god. I was just a normal kid. . . until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher. Percy Jackson is having a bad week. His life has gone from totally normal to monsters-from-Greek-mythology-randomly-appearing kind of strange. Worse still, the king of the gods thinks Percy has stolen his all-powerful lightning bolt - and it seems making Zeus angry is a very bad idea. Now Percy and his friends have just ten days to catch the true lightning thief and stop all-out war from erupting on Mount Olympus. . . What could possible go wrong?

Für Interessenten der griechischen Mythologie sehr empfehlenswert, ist zu Beginn mehr an Kinder bzw. Jugendliche gerichtet, in den späteren Bändern jedoch auch als Erwachsene lesbar.

This was one of my favorite fantasy series. I'm not sure why Rick Riordan's writing skills didn't transfer very well to his other works. But this 4 book series was amazing
