Percy soon learns that Zeus's lightning bolt, a powerful symbol of his power, has been stolen, and he is accused of being the thief. To clear his name and prevent a war between the gods, Percy embarks on a quest with his friends Annabeth (Athena's daughter) and Grover (a satyr) to retrieve the lightning bolt and find the real thief.

Percy narrates the story in first-person, present-tense. He talks to you, the reader, as if you are sitting next to him at Camp Half-Blood. This conversational tone is the holy grail for audiobook production. Unlike dense, descriptive Victorian novels, The Lightning Thief feels like a stand-up comedy routine mixed with a sword fight.

• The wise, stern Annabeth Chase.
• The chaotic, mischievous Hermes.
• The terrifying, metallic voice of Ares.

• The Audiobook: Contains everything. The humor of the Hellhound (Mrs. O'Leary’s introduction), the logic of Archimedes' sphere, and the brutal final fight with Ares on the beach. Because your brain generates the images, the audiobook is never "miscast."
