The Lightning Thief

Author Rick; Riordan

A kid who thinks that his life is pointless, but after one event that happened to him it changed his life and actually gave it a meaning.   

Percy Jackson being a decent student but has struggles on focus in his classes and having troubles with controlling his emotions.  Because Percy wasn’t focusing enough in his school Percy had to go to Boarding school but Boarding school didn’t help him one bit.  Percy seriously thought his algebra teacher turned into a monster and tried to kill him.  But for a human he thought that was crazy.  He knew if he tried to tell anyone else besides his mom everybody would think Percy is crazy.

This is why Percy’s mother had to tell Percy the truth, after telling his mom what happened.  Percy’s mom had to tell him where he came from and also she had to send her son where he came from.  She sends Percy to the Half blood camp, a summer camp with other demi gods like Percy, so he can be safe. 

Percy later finds out who his dad really is.  Percy’s dad was a Poseidon God of the Sea.  Throughout the story he meets theses demi god friends one being a satyr and other being a daughter of Athena.  After meeting his new friends, a quest unfolds.  Percy and his new demi got friends set out on a quest t throughout America to reach the underworld gates, to prevent a disastrous war between the gods. 

If you are a teenager that likes reading books that have a lot of action and adventure then I recommend reading this book, in some parts in the book it relates to some school age issues.  Also after reading this book read the other books in the series for an example Sea of the Monsters.  I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
