A note for parents
The Lightning Thief is a well-established middle-grade adventure that combines Greek mythology with modern settings. Combat with fantastical creatures is present but not graphic, and the tone remains lighthearted and humorous despite some tense moments. The story emphasizes friendship, loyalty, courage, and self-acceptance while introducing readers to classical mythology in an engaging way.

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. 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 and his friends have just ten 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 true thief: he must come to terms with the father who abandoned him; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves.
