Riordan, Rick. The Lightning Thief. New York: Miramax /Hyperion for Children, 2005. Print

The Lightning Thief is about a teenager named Percy Jackson who is tasked with solving a myestery. He is also half god. This book could be catagorized under a lot of genres, but I would put it under fiction. Rick Riordan made this book easy to read and humorous. This book also was fun to read because it would be cool to be Percy Jackson (somewhat). This book takes place around the United States, but the bigger states include New York, Wasington, and California. The main charecters in this book are percy Jackson, Grover, and Annebeth. They are all cool charecters, and are relatable. This book is good for you if you like to have fun.

I agree, this book is really good. As the series goes on it's nice to see the characters grow up and even see the story get more intense. Rick Riordan is a very good writer and puts a lot of humour in his books.

This book sounds interesting. I wonder what it would be like for a kid to be half god. A mystery consisting of a god sounds pretty suspenseful to me. I might give this book a try.

this book is really good. the fact that this book is part of a series makes it even better and makes you want to read the rest of the series. Its a mystery that makes you want to keep reading more

Yeah this sounds like a great book Julio! I love reading those books that keep you on the edge of your seat. I might have to look into reading this!

I am not a fan of this particular book, but I like your description.What kind of tasks is Percy Jackson faced with and what do you mean it was fun to be Percy Jackson himself?
