In "The Lightning Thief," twelve-year-old Percy Jackson discovers he is a demigod, the son of Poseidon. After being accused of stealing Zeus's lightning bolt, he embarks on a quest to clear his name. Accompanied by his friends Annabeth, daughter of Athena, and Grover, a satyr, Percy travels across the United States, facing mythological monsters and uncovering secrets about his past. Along the way, he learns about friendship, bravery, and his own identity, culminating in a showdown that could affect the balance of power among the gods. The journey is filled with humor, adventure, and ancient Greek mythology. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
