Percy Jackson is a twelve year old boy with dyslexia and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). After going on a field trip and being attacked by his math teacher, who is actually a Fury in disguise, he finds out that he is the son of a Greek god. He is brought to Camp Half-Blood (a camp for children with a Greek god as a parent, located off Long Island) by his best friend, a satyr named Grover, and his mother Sally.
He soon meets Annabeth, daughter of Athena, and they quickly become good friends. Not long after his arrival, Poseidon, the sea god, claims Percy as his son during a game of demigod-style capture-the-flag. Percy is accused of stealing Zeus' masterbolt, the model for every lightning bolt made. He, Annabeth and Grover are given ten days to return the thunderbolt to Mount Olympus in order to stop a war between the gods from starting and save his mother, who has been held hostage in the Underworld by Hades after being captured by the Minotaur. He soon finds out that Hades did not steal the bolt. It is revealed that Luke, son of Hermes, stole the bolt for Kronos, who is attempting to come back to life. Grover goes off to find Pan, the lost Greek God of nature.
