Lightning Thief / Rick Riordan 377 p.

Dig into your mythology to get all the nuances of this story of 12-yr. old Percy Jackson as he returns home after being kicked out of school again for causing trouble-- did his math teacher really turn into a monster and try to kill him?  A fun vacation goes way bad as he and his mother drive madly for the safety of summer camp away from a raging Minotaur.  At camp, Percy realizes that the gods are still alive; and a fight is brewing.  Percy is given 10 days for a quest to retrieve Zeus' lightning bolt.  Percy and his friends run into adventures and danger as they follow their quest.  St. Louis is one of their stops.

First in the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series
