The Lightning Thief, the first of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, details the theft of Zeus' master lightning bolt. Percy and his friends embark on a quest to the Underworld, where they believe Hades has stolen the bolt. The trio faces many dangerous obstacles, many of which come disguised.

This was my second time reading this book and it is still amazing. Rick Riordan has to be one of my favorite writers and this book is a great introduction to Greek mythology (even though some aspects are manipulated to fit the plot). The Percy Jackson series is one of my all-time favorites and I can't wait to reread this series as well as the Heroes of Olympus series.
