Written by Rick Riordan this is a fictitious story based in the modern world with Gods of the old still ruling it.
The main protagonist is Percy Jackson, a 12-year old kid who thinks he is ordinary. Having a friend(only friend to be precise) Grover Underwood who is on clutches, Percy has a quite boring life. Being dyslexic and ADHD only adds to his school woes. However a field trip to a museum changes this all. Percy is sucked into a conspiracy between none other than Greek Gods themselves!
However this is only the tip of the iceberg. He also learns that he is not just any ordinary kid but a half blood. The offspring of a god and mortal. Being the son of the all powerful, ruler of the sea Poseidon(which makes Percy very dangerous and strong among other demigods), Percy has to face long odds to rescue not just his mother but the entire western civilization by stopping a blood feud between the Gods themselves. And in the process remove the stain of a thief on his name.
This book is a very beautiful and good book which will keep the readers hooked until the very end.
