Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

In this 2008-2009 Maud Hart Lovelace Book Award nominee title, Percy Jackson always seems to be getting in trouble. He finds out in this book that he's really a demigod - part human and part god. That's why some of the things happen that get him in trouble.

Percy is sent to a summer camp where he enters training with other kid demigods. He and a couple of other characters are sent off on a mission to find Zeus's missing lightning bolt which was stolen during the winter solstice. If he doesn't succeed in finding it, the next war of the gods will begin on the summer solstice.

Lots of adventure and action...never a dull moment in Percy's life!

Genre: fantasy fiction

  1. I loved this book and could not put it down. I read the whole series in about two months. My rating would be 5 out of 5. Even though these books may seem like boy books, girls can still enjoy reading them!
