The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

Blogged by Shea M.

I read the book The Lightning Thief. The story is about a boy named Percy Jackson. In the beginning of the story of the story Percy is just a regular kid. He has never known his dad only his mom and step-dad, Smelly Gabe. He has been kicked out of a lot of schools and has only one friend whose name is Grover. Then he finds out that he is a demigod, and he is sent to Camp Half-Blood. Chiron, the activities director at camp explains to Percy that the Greek gods are still alive and that one of them is his parent. Then Percy is claimed by his father Poseidon, the god of the sea. Percy isn't quite sure how he feels about father suddenly claiming after the 12 years his father completely ignored him, especially when Zeus's mater bolt has been stolen and Percy is now the main suspect for this crime. If Percy wants to prevent a full fledged war between the gods from breaking out then he must find the bolt and return it by the summer solstice, only days away. He is not alone on his quest though. He will be going with Annabeth, another half-blood and Grover who is apparently a satyr. Read the book to find out what will happen on their incredible journey to save the world.
