What would occur if one day you discover you are the son of a Greek god sent to carry out a secret mission? Well, this is exactly what happened to Percy Jackson! Expelled from six schools, Percy suffers from dyslexia and an inability to concentrate, or, at least, that is the official version. Often the butt of jokes, his world completely changes when the gods of Olympus tell him his father was a god and he has been given the mission not only to discover who stole Zeus's lightning, but to stop an impending war between the deities!
