Volám sa Percy Jackson... Až doteraz som si myslel, že som obyčajný chlapec, ktorého čaká vyhodenie zo školy... Zistil som však, že môj otec je jeden z bohov na Olympe... Moja učiteľka sa premenila na krvilačnú príšeru a kamarát je satyr... Všetci na mňa číhajú a podozrievajú ma z krádeže blesku, silnej zbrane mocného boha Dia... Musím dokázať svoju nevinu a nájsť ukradnutý blesk a s ním aj zlodeja. Pomôžeš mi?
Bude to však nebezpečné, tak potom sa nesťažuj, že som ťa nevaroval!
