Summary- In The Lightning Thief, Percy Jackson is a 12 year-old boy who thinks he is just a dyslexic, disobedient, and underachieving student. In fact by the end of this book, he discovers that he is a demigod and the son of Poseidon. He also saves the world from a war between the Gods involving Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades by returning a lightning bolt that has been stolen from Zeus, the rightful owner.
Recommendation- I would give “The Lightning Thief” a five star rating out of a five star scale because it had a complicated but interesting plot, and was a page turner that I didn’t want to stop reading. I found it interesting how the author mixed the Greek mythology with modern day life and I think you will to. I would recommend this book to 4th through 7th grade because of its complicated plot and because of some relatively difficult vocabulary.
