El ladron del rayo, el comienzo de la conocida serie -Percy Jackson y los Dioses del Olimpo-. Acompaña a Percy a traves de esta apasionante serie de aventuras sobre un mundo secreto, el mundo que los antiguos dioses griegos han recreado a nuestro alrededor en pleno siglo XXI. ¿Que pasaria si un dia descubrieras que, en realidad, eres hijo de un dios griego que debe cumplir una mision secreta? Pues eso es lo que le sucede a Percy Jackson, que a partir de ese momento se dispone a vivir los acontecimientos mas emocionantes de su vida. Expulsado de seis colegios, Percy padece dislexia y dificultades para concentrarse, o al menos esa es la version oficial. Objeto de burlas por inventarse historias fantasticas, ni siquiera el mismo acaba de creerselas hasta el dia que los dioses del Olimpo le revelan la verdad: Percy es nada menos que un semidios, es decir, el hijo de un dios y una mortal. Y como tal ha de descubrir quien ha robado el rayo de Zeus y asi evitar que estalle una guerra entre los dioses. Para cumplir la mision contara con la ayuda de sus amigos Grover, un joven satiro, y Annabeth, hija de Atenea. ** Mas vendidos del The New York Times y Publishers Weekly. ** Llevada a la gran pantalla a cargo de Chris Columbus, director de las dos primeras entregas de -Harry Potter-. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school...again. No matter how hard he tries, he cant seem to stay out of trouble. But can he really be expected to stand by and watch while a bully picks on his scrawny best friend? Or not defend himself against his pre-algebra teacher when she turns into a monster and tries to kill him? Of course, no one believes Percy about the monster incident; hes not even sure he believes himself. Until the Minotaur chases him to summer camp. Suddenly, mythical creatures seem to be walking straight out of the pages of Percys Greek mythology textbook and into his life. The gods of Mount Olympus, hes coming to realize, are very much alive in the 21st-century. And worse, hes angered a few of them: Zeuss master lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect. Now Percy has just 10 days to find and return Zeuss stolen property, and bring peace to a warring Mount Olympus. On a daring road trip from their summer camp in New York to the gates of the Underworld in Los Angeles, Percy and his friends, one a satyr and the other the demigod daughter of Athena, will face a host of enemies determined to stop them. To succeed in his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the true thief: he must come to terms with the father who abandoned him; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of failure and betrayal by a friend; and unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves.
