The Lightning Thief is the first book in the series. It was released on June 28, 2005.
Percy Jackson lives in New York with his mother, Sally Jackson. During a field trip to a museum, Percy is attacked by a Fury disguised as his math teacher, Mrs. Dodds, and he kills her with a sword given to him by Mr. Brunner, his Latin teacher. After Mrs. Dodds is killed, no one remembers knowing Mrs. Dodds. At the end of the school year, Percy heads home and his mother decides to take the two of them on a vacation. Percy's best friend Grover arrives and reveals himself as a satyr. Percy tells him about Mrs. Dodds while his mom races them to Camp Half-Blood. While heading to the camp, they are attacked by the minotaur. His mother is taken captive before Percy can kill the Minotaur. He passes out and when he wakes, he finds himself in the camp. He meets his former Latin teacher, Mr. Brunner, who turns out to be Chiron (a centaur), and Annabeth Chase (Daughter of Athena). Percy is soon claimed by his Olympian parent, Poseidon.
Later on he is accused of stealing Zeus's lighting bolt. Although Percy admits that he didn't do it, Zeus still accuses him. And if he doesn't prove Zeus wrong there will be a massive war between the Gods. Percy, Annabeth, and Grover are given a quest to retrieve Zeus' stolen lightning bolt as Zeus believes Percy stole it. After they get the quest, the trio initially believes Hades to be the thief and travel across the United States to Los Angeles, where they know the entrance to the underworld is, facing numerous mythological monsters, including Medusa, Echidna, and the Furies. In the end, they learn the real thief was Luke (Son of Hermes), a camper who'd befriended Percy when he first arrived at camp. Luke stole the bolt to allow Kronos the chance to rise again.
