Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
February 9, 2010 Books & Reading No CommentsThe Lightning Thief is by Rick Riordan about a twelve year old Percy Jackson is an average kid. He had ADD, ADHD, dyslexia, and he’s always shipped off to boarding school. One day on a field trip his teacher attacks him. How weird? He’s taken to a place called Half-Blood Hill by his best friend, Grover, who turns out to be half goat! He soon figures out the ancient Greek gods are real. This is one of my favorite books, and series. He finds out that Zeus, the god of lightning and the skies, has his master lightning bolt stolen, and he wants it by the Summer Solstice. Can Percy recover the bolt? And can he get it before the Summer Solstice? I loved this book so much I decided to read the second one in the series, the Sea of Monsters. I think you should buy this book because it has action, mystery, and more. As most of you probably know, it’s also going to be in the movies! The book has so many scenes, events and places I’m afraid it’ll be too epic even for the movie theaters. One moment he’s at school, the next he’s in a water park, the next he’s in Las Vegas, and after that he’s in the Unerworld! It’s a pretty good book, but I don’t think they will be able to fit all the scenes into the movie. It entertains a wide age group of kids. My school likes it, my dad likes it, and the kids in my neighborhood like it. Click the buy button below to buy Percy Jackson and the Olympians: the Lightning Thief
