Rick Riordan, Walter Lewis: Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief (2010, Penguin Books, Limited)
Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is on the most dangerous quest of his life. With the help of a satyr and a daughter of Athena, Percy must journey across the United States to catch a thief who has stolen the original weapon of mass destruction—Zeus’ master bolt. Along the way, he must face a host of mythological enemies determined to stop him. Most of all, he must come to terms with a father he has never known, and an Oracle that has warned him of betrayal by a friend.

It was cute and fun. I think I might have been really into it if I'd read it as a kid, but then again I might have (somewhat unfairly) dismissed it as a lesser copy of Harry Potter. I'm not sure whether I'll read any further.
