Lighting Thief


Have you thought you were entirely different from other people? Well a boy named Percy Jackson is extremely different from any other kids. He has to fight monsters the older he gets, then when he reaches a certain age he must go to camp Half-Blood. Camp Half-Blood is for demigods which are half human half gods, and that is what Percy is. His father is the famous Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea. He meets new people that become his friends and his friends end up changing completely.

First off Percy Jackson is twelve years old that lives with his mom not knowing who is dad is. He starts off going to a boarding school and he has an act to be getting kicked out of every school he goes to. He has one friend and his name is Grover and he has some leg disease or so he tells Percy. Percy suffers from dyslexia; he also gets made fun off a lot. He Latin teacher Mr. Brunner even thinks he should be the smartest kid in the world because he says “Perhaps you’ll tell us what this picture represents.” As Mr. Brunner points to the picture on the stele in the museum field trip. He’s the kid that is always pulled out of the crowed to get in trouble. The day he finds out that he is a demigod is also the day that he finds out that Grover is a satyr which is a half human half goat. He also loses his mother to Hades the god of the Underworld, and learns that he needs to get to camp Half-Blood if he wants to live from the monster attacks.

Then when he finally gets to camp Half-Blood he finds out that his Latin teacher is one of the camp people there and he is a centaur half human half horse. He also meets Annabeth who is the daughter of Athena, and he gets sent on a quest to recover Zeus’s stolen master bolt that holds all of his powers. Percy, Grover, and Annabeth have to go to the Underworld to get the Master Bolt back for Zeus before the summer solstice.

Finally, will he and his friends make it in time? Will someone betray him? Read and find out, Percy’s friends and enemies change 100%. This book is full of adventure and maybe a love story in there. So can you truly trust people that say there your friend?
