Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 1)

Percy Jackson never asked to be the son of a Greek god. He was just a normal kid—until he accidentally vaporized his maths teacher. Now his life has gone from totally normal to monsters-from-Greek-mythology-randomly-appearing kind of strange. Worse still, the king of the gods thinks Percy has stolen his all-powerful lightning bolt. And making Zeus angry is a very bad idea.

With monsters hunting him and war threatening to erupt on Mount Olympus, Percy has just ten days to catch the true lightning thief and prevent catastrophe. Armed with a pen that transforms into a sword, guidance from Annabeth (a demigod daughter of Athena), and the friendship of Grover (a satyr with secrets of his own), Percy embarks on a cross-country quest that will introduce him to a world he never knew existed. As he discovers the truth about his parentage and his powers, Percy realizes that the stakes are far higher than he imagined—and that being the son of Poseidon comes with a destiny he never wanted. What could possibly go wrong?
