Rick Riordan's book The Lightning Thief is a great read! This book is almost what I would call “simply perfecto!” Here’s a summary of the book: Percy Jackson thinks he is very unusual…he gets expelled absolutely every year out of every boarding school he goes to, a lot of weird things happen to him, and he doesn't know his dad. But he is much more unusual than that – he is a demi-god, or a half blood – that means he is part human and part ancient Greek god. His father is an ancient Greek god, but Percy never even saw him since his father was lost at sea…or so he thinks. He finds out about all this ancient Greek god stuff one day on a class field trip when his pre-algebra teacher Ms. Dodds transforms into a monster and tries to kill him! Luckily, his Latin teacher Mr. Brunner comes in and throws him a pen which turns into a big, bronze sword, and then Percy successfully destroys the monster, causing it to vaporize! When school ends, he is sent to a summer camp – but not just any summer camp – a camp for half bloods only (that’s why it’s called half blood hill!) that is directed by a centaur named Chiron, who was actually disguised as a teacher - Percy's former Latin teacher,in fact! On the way, his mother gets vaporized by a minotaur (yet another ancient Greek monster) and their car is demolished, but Percy makes it safely. At the camp he learns all about the gods and monsters but he mostly plays sports and has fun with other half bloods, until it is discovered that he is the son of Poseidon, one of the three major gods. Then he is sent on a quest with two other friends to go to find Zeus’s lightning bolt. The world depends on them to return it! To find out more, you’ll have to read the book!
