Tolvårige Percy Jackson er på vej til at blive smidt ud af endnu en skole – der er et lille problem med, at han har pulveriseret sin matematiklærer. Præcis hvad der skete, kan han ikke helt forklare, men det er heller ikke første gang, at besynderlige ting sker omkring ham.Det begynder dog at give noget mere mening, da Percy efter en dramatisk flugt ender i den noget anderledes feriekoloni, Halvblodslejren. Her møder han til sin forbløffelse væsner, der kun burde optræde i bøger om græsk mytologi, og i de højere luftlag er de gamle guder endog særdeles levende. Og vrede. Overguden Zeuz’ lyn er nemlig blevet stjålet, og Percy er den hovedmistænkte.Han har nu ti dage til at bevise sin uskyld, og sammen med to venner sætter han af sted tværs over USA i jagten på tordenkilen. Men mange har interesse i at stoppe ham, og farer lurer de mest uventede steder. Oven i det har Oraklet advaret ham om forræderi fra allernærmeste hold … fra hans far, der har forladt ham, fra en af hans venner, eller …?Gale guder, sjove satyrer og en helt, der holder helt frem til sidste side.Percy Jackson & Lyntyven er første bind i serien om Percy Jackson og olymperne.Rick Riordan har vundet adskillige priser for sine krimier til det voksne publikum. Percy Jackson er hans første børnebog.Rick Riordan bor i Texas med sin kone og to sønner.
Halvblodslejren, de gale guder, mytologiske monstre og seje helte er tilbage i Rick Riordans nye serie Olympens helte Jason har et problem. Han vågner op i en skolebus – og holder en pige i hånden. Åbenbart er det hans kæreste, Piper, og hans bedste ven hedder Leo, og de er alle elever på Ødemarksskolen, en særlig skole for ’problembørn’. Jason har ingen anelse om, hvordan han er endt der – han ved bare, at det hele føles meget, meget forkert.Piper har en hemmelighed. Hendes far har været forsvundet i tre dage, og Pipers meget levende mareridt afslører, at han er i livsfare. Nu aner hendes kæreste ikke engang, hvem hun er, og da en pludselig storm og vilde væsner angriber skoleudflugten bliver hun, Jason og Leo ført til et sted kaldet Halvblodslejren. Hvad sker der?Leo er god med værktøj. Hans nye hytte i Halvblodslejen er fyldt med værktøj. Seriøst, lejren slår Ødemarksskolen med mange længder – med våbentræning, uhyrer og virkeligt søde piger. Det er selvfølgelig ikke så godt med den der forbandelse, som alle snakker om, og den lejrdeltager, som er forsvundet. Men det mest foruroligende er, at de andre i hans hytte insisterer på, at de alle – også Leo – er i familie med en gud.Riordans fortælletalent flyder af sted, så glat som nogensinde – sprængfyldt med humor, action og indlevelse. Hans fans vil ikke blive skuffede.Publishers Weekly
