Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
Reviewed by Reah, Gr. 7
Last year, The Lightning Thief was one of my favorite books. I still love it as much as I did last year. Percy Jackson is expelled and sent to another school every year because something weird happened. Percy is now finding out who he really is...and he is definitely not normal. He is sent to Camp Half-Blood to keep away from monsters, but on his way there, a monster finds him and his mom disappears in a flash of golden light. Where is his mom, and will he save her? This book has monsters, fighting, and some sadness in it. It involves a lot of Greek mythology. I give it 5 out of 5 stars.

This was a really good book! Rick Riordan created very real characters with an interesting plot. I liked that the book took place on Long Island.

This is one of the best books I have ever read. There is a lot of adventure and it is very unique how Riordan uses Greek gods as part of his story and the characters are very well developed as well.

The Lightning Thief is the story of Percy Jackson, a 12-year-old, New York City boy who learns that he is the son of Poseidon. He is whisked off to Camp Half Blood to train as a hero but quickly realizes that he is the child of a prophecy that affects the future of the gods. This means that there are many, many people who quickly dislike him. Percy must, with the help of his friends, Annabeth and Grover, go to the Underworld, retrieve a stolen weapon, and prove that he is not the lightning thief. This book is packed with excitement and Greek history and I strongly recommend it.
