Percy Jackson and the Lighting Thief is a book of surprises. Percy is a troubled kid that always gets in trouble. He's been kicked out of many boarding schools but then realizes that Yancy Academy is full of weird things. His best friend has goat legs and his teacher is half human half horse. His own mom has to get him to Camp Halfblood before Percy is caught. Camp Halfbood is a safe place for demi gods. Camp Halfblood has a magic shield around it so evil beasts can’t hurt any demi gods. Before he has to go to the underworld he must find three orbs that will teleport the holder where you need to go. He is also blamed of stealing Zeus’s lightning bolt. He is forced to go on a journey to prove he didn’t steal Zeus’s lighting rod before a war breaks out with the gods on the summer solstice. It all gets worse when his mother gets captured and brought down to the underworld and Hades won’t give Percy’s mom back until he has the lighting bolt. Percy must take on Hades strongest minions and get to Mount Olympus before the end of the world. Will Percy survive this journey? I recommend this book for grades three and up.
