The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan- Reviewed by Elias C.

The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan is an amazing book. This is the first book in the series and it is amazing, thrilling and exciting. The genre of this book is Greek Mythology. This story is about a boy named Percy Jackson who is in the sixth grade. He has ADHD and dislexia. He finds out from his best friend Grover that he is not normal like everyone else. Grover is a satyr and he goes to schools looking for Half Bloods so he can bring them to camp. He is a Half Blood or demigod which means half human and half god. With him being a Half Blood, monsters thirst for his blood so he is in danger. So Percy Jackson ends up going to a camp called Camp Half Blood with other Half Bloods like him. One Half Blood he meets at Camp Half Blood is Annabeth and she takes care of him when he is not well. She is the daughter of Athena. Percy gets put into the Hermes cabin because he is untedermined, and they don't know who his parent his. So he stays with the sons of Hermes and other undetermined Half Bloods like him. But the gods think that Percy has stolen Zeus's lightning bolt and they want him to return the bolt to Olympus in 14 days or a huge war will happen with the gods. So percy has 14 days to return the stolen lightning bolt that he didn't even steal. So he goes around the country with Grover and Annabeth looking for it.



So I think this book is great and very suspenseful. After I read the first book I couldn't just stop reading the other books in the series. With the all new adventures that he faces. There are five books in the series The Lightning Thief, Sea of the Monsters, The Titans Curse, The Battle of the Labyrinth, and The Last Olympian. I would suggest this book to anyone who likes adventure books, suspense, and of course Greek Mythology. So if you like these things I say that you should really suggest reading this series.
