The gods of Olympus are alive in the 21st Century. They still fall in love with mortals and have children (demigods) who might become great heroes, however, most of these children meet horrible fates by the age of twelve. Only a few discover the truth of their identity and make it to Half Blood Hill, a Long Island summer camp dedicated to training young demigods. Percy Jackson was an ordinary boy, doing the usual things boys do. Go to school, play basketball... Until, he vaporized his math teacher (or so he thought) - that was when things started going wrong. Now, he spends his time fighting with swords, battling out monsters to survive.
Percy has been given a quest to help his real father, Poseidon, the God of S
ea. With the help of Grover the satyr and Annabeth the daughter of Athena, Percy must travel across the United States to catch a thief who has stolen Zeus’ master bolt - the weapon of mass destruction. Along the way, they come across mythological enemies determined to stop them. Most of all, Percy must come to terms with a father he has never known, and an Oracle that has warned him of betrayal by a friend.
Read this book and you'll find out whether he will find the lightning bolt and stop war erupting. And most importantly, will he even survive the entire journey with monsters at every corner, with only one intention of killing him. Who knows...
I think this is a really entertaining book and both girls and boys would enjoy reading this. It is filled with action, adventure, mythology and much more. I had a thrill reading this book and I think you will too.
