The Lightning Thief
By Rick Riordan
Dalton's rating:
This book is really great for those who like Roman and Greek mythology. The book is about a boy named Percy Jackson who is a demigod, meaning half mortal and half god. His father is a god, and not just any god, one of the big three gods. His dad's name is Poseidon, god of the sea.
Percy's story starts off with a normal day as a teenager. Then one of his teachers turns into a fury and tries to attack him. After another teacher of his comes, the fury flies away. This teacher reveals his true form as a centaur. This is when Percy learns he is a demigod.
On the way to the safe place for demigods Percy, his mom, and his best friend Grover are attacked by a Minotaur. Percy then learns another secret: Grover is a satyr. Percy then has to fight the Minotaur with a pen, but when he clicks the pen, a sword comes out. After slaying the Minotaur, Percy enters the camp. Then his real quest begins.
This book is based on a lot of Greek characters and has a lot of action and adventure. I found this book to be a very good read. If you like it, try the other four books in the series.
