The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan -- 416 pages

Percy Jackson never stays long at one school. His ADHD, paired with dyslexia, has gotten him into trouble after trouble. He almost lasted the whole school year this time--before he sliced his teacher and into dust. No one seems to notice, but Percy is pretty sure that's what happened.

Percy finally discovers that he is a demi-god, the son of a god, and that he must prevent a war among the greatest of the gods. He has been accused of stealing Zeus' master bolt, and the only way to prove his innocence is to find out who did steal the master bolt, steal it back, and return it to Zeus before chaos ensues.

I listened to the audiobook on overdrive.
