Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan, Penguin, ISBN 9780141329994
Olivia reviewed her own copy of this book.
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief is an interesting, intriguing, and exciting book about two demigods (kids with one godly parent and one mortal parent) and a satyr (half human, half goat) Percy, Annabeth, and Grover, who embark on a journey to get back Zeus’s lightning bolt. Zeus, the god of the sky, has had his master lightning bolt stolen. Zeus blames his brother, Poseidon, god of the sea, Percy’s dad. Can Zeus get his lightning bolt back? Is Poseidon responsible for Zeus’s missing bolt?
My favorite part of this story is when Percy meets Annabeth, where Annabeth tells Percy that he drools when he sleeps. This is my favorite part because it’s hilarious and hysterical.
My favourite character is Annabeth, because she is prepared for anything, and she is very smart. I’d rate this a 20 out of 20 because it is comedic, exciting, and makes you want to read it. I’d recommend it to ages ten and up.
