His life is turned upside down when he finds out that he is a demigod, the son of Poseidon, the Greek sea god. After being attacked by monsters and finding out about his divine parentage, Percy is shipped off to Camp Half-Blood, a demigod sanctuary. There, he discovers that Zeus's mighty lightning bolt has been stolen, and he is the main suspect.

While reading about Percy's adventures, readers touch on themes of friendship, identity, and heroism in an imaginative world where ancient myths are real.
