The Lightning Thief (Riordan, Rick; Miramax Books/Hyperion Books for Children; 2005; 377 pages; ISBN 9780786856299)
The first book in the tremendously popular series, The Lightning Thief is the tale of 12-year-old Percy Jackson (an allusion to Perseus from Greek mythology). Jackson is a demigod, the son of Poseidon and a mortal mother, and he seeks sanctuary at Camp Half-Blood along with other kids like him. If traditional Greek myths do not appeal to some readers, surely this story will.
