About the book

Celebrating 85 years of Sparking Imaginations

A beautiful clothbound edition of the much-loved modern classic Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief.

Part of an eight book set published to mark the 85th anniversary of Puffin Books. With a brand-new foreword from Nazneen Ahmed Pathak.

HALF BOY - HALF GOD - ALL HERO.

Look, I never asked to be the song of a Greek god, I was just a normal kid. . . until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher.

Percy Jackson is having a bad week. 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 it seems making Zeus angry is a very bad idea.

Now Percy and his friends have just ten days to catch the true lightning thief and stop all-out war from erupting on Mount Olympus. . .

What could possibly go wrong?
