The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan....
When his lightning bolt is stolen, Zeus accuses Poseidon's son Percy
Jackson and gives Poseidon's son fourteen days to return it, otherwise
he will initiate a war amongst the gods. Meanwhile the teenager, Percy,
who is dyslexic and has ADHD is visiting The Museum of Metropolitan of
Art and is attacked by a Fury disguised in his teacher. His crippled
best friend Grover reveals that Percy is a demigod and that he is his
protector and his teacher Mr Brunner gives him a pen telling him that it
is a powerful weapon. They go to Percy's house and together with his
mother Sally they drive to the Camp Half-Blood. However Sally is
attacked by a Minotaur and vanishes before Percy can help her. In the
camp, Percy befriends the gorgeous Annabeth; when they are attacked by
Hades who wants the lighting bolt for himself, Percy discovers that his
mother is in the Underworld with Hades. Percy decides to travel on a
dangerous quest to retrieve the lightning bolt and save his mother.
In The Sea of Monsters, a 13-year-old demigod Percy Jackson goes on a
quest with his friend Annabeth, daughter of Athena. They go to save
Thalia's pine tree, which has been poisoned mysteriously , and to save
Grover, Percy's best friend. In order to get the Golden Fleece, which
will heal the tree, he must travel across the omious Sea of Monsters to
an island guarded by the Polyphemus and his man-eating sheep, where his
friend Grover is trapped. Throughout the journey, Percy, Annabeth and
Tyson face many challenges, such as the Sirens, Scylla, and Hydra. In the end, Percy
rescues Grover, defeats Polyphemus (with help from Tyson, who was
thought to be dead by that time), and retrieves the Golden Fleece.
Chiron is re-hired and everything seems to be perfect. When they return
to camp, the camp places the Fleece on the tree. The next day, Grover
awakens Percy to find out that the Golden Fleece also brought Thalia
back to life, giving Kronos another chance to control the prophecy.
