The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 1)

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.

This is just the beginning. You find yourself increasingly caring about the characters. I did't care for Grover's character, however. He is a loyal friend, through out but he gets nervous and faints a lot. The plot reads like a "who's done it" in the Greek Mythological realm. Lots of treachery but people you really like, too.
