The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians Book 1)
The first book in the Olympians series, and heads up: lots of Rick Riordan's titles are on sale today. Percy is a twelve-year-old kid who discovers he's a demigod--half human, half god-- as the absent father he's never known is actually Poseidon, king of the sea. If you're looking for what to read next after you're finished with a certain boy wizard, give Percy Jackson a try. The books in this series are great contenders for books boys love because, in Riordan's world, the gods stir up all kinds of trouble down on earth.
Publisher’s description:
Percy Jackson is a good kid, but he can’t seem to focus on his schoolwork or control his temper. And lately, being away at boarding school is only getting worse-Percy could have sworn his pre-algebra teacher turned into a monster and tried to kill him.
