Junebook 17: Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

The characters in this novel are quite young (in the 11/12 range) so it may seem like this book is targeted to younger readers, but even teenagers can read it, or anyone who is a fan of Greek myths.

The main character, Percy Jackson, realizes early on in the book that he is a demigod, half god/half mortal. He goes to a summer camp and meets other demigods his age. He learns about his family and his destiny. 

Main conflict in the story: Zeus thinks Percy is the lightning thief and Percy has to defend his honor and reputation.

The other books in the series: The Sea of Monsters, The Titan's Curse, The Battle of the Labyrinth, and The Last Olympian.
