//Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Lightning Thief// by Rick Riordan

What would you do if you found out your best friend's a satyr, you're related to Ancient Greek gods, and mythical creatures are coming out of your history book? These are just some examples of what happens in the book. Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school, again. When summer lets out of school and Percy goes on a trip to Half-Blood Hills camp, also he has angered one of the biggest gods in the world. Zeus. He is blamed for stealing Zeus Lightning Bolt, he is summoned on a quest. What will happen when Percy gets a quest? Will he get killed, and will he see the gods? What will happen next? Will he ever find the Gods? Will he make it to the underworld?

Why would you choose this book? I recommend this novel because, it was a real page turner. It is fiction which I like, and wanted to read. I thought this book was great, it grabbed my attention because it was coming out in a movie and was recommended by a few of my friends. They said they read the whole series and it was amazing. // Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Lightning Thief // was off the top, fiction, a lot of action, and since I didn't like reading this was one of the best novels I read. It wasn't hard to stay concentrated on the story. It kept drawing me in. I think that most kids that would enjoy this are between ten and about twenty. A surprise in the story that held me in was how long it took to find his gift and what his gift was. It wasn't boring, it was new, fresh, and lots of action. If you like Ancient Greek mythology it can help you in this book to understand this. This is my review and why I chose to review his book was because it was the best book I have read all my life.
