Summary: One late summer day Zeus the king of the gods decides to meet with his brother Poseidon. He accuses his son Percy of stealing his lightning bolt and he is now known as the lightning thief. It is forbidden for gods to steal each other’s powers but not their children. Percy soon finds out that he is a demigod-the child of a god and goes to a camp for demi gods after his mother gets killed by a demon sent by Hades. This camp is called Camp Half Blood where he trains to become a better warrior, he then meets this beautiful girl named Anabeth. One day during a campfire Hades appears and wants Percy to give him the lightning bolt so him, his friend, and Anabeth journey to the underworld to get his mother back and give the lighting back to Hades. It turns out that he is not the lightning thief it is actually Luke the son of Hermes and they fight and Percy kills him. They then go to Olympus and return the lightning bolt to Zeus.
