All the books by Rick Riordan adapted to cinema and television

Accused by the Greek god Zeus of stealing his thunderbolt, 12-year-old demigod Percy Jackson finds himself embroiled in a divine mystery.

At the top of the Empire State Building, Zeus meets Poseidon, accusing Poseidon’s demigod son, Percy Jackson, of stealing Zeus’ master lightning bolt. Sixteen-year-old Percy struggles with dyslexia, but has a unique ability to stay underwater. Mr. Brunner gives Percy a pen which he claims is a powerful weapon, and instructs Grover to take Percy and his mother Sally to Camp Half-Blood—a hidden summer camp for demigod children in Long Island.

While in Camp Half-Blood, Percy Jackson recounts the story of Thalia and her sacrifice. A young Annabeth, Luke, Grover and Thalia are running to Camp Half-Blood while being pursued by monsters. Thalia sacrifices herself to get the others into the camp, and her father Zeus turns her into a tree which forms a barrier around it.
