The Lightning Thief By Rick Riordan

The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan is revolved around a demigod (half human half god) who tries to get back Zeus’ lightning bolt. Percy Jackson, a kid who doesn’t really like school (due to his ADHD) goes through many adventures, learning more about himself, his origin, his father, and what he has become involved in. He goes through this first adventure with Grover (his best friend during middle school), Annabeth (an intelligent girl in the same situation as Percy), and his sword-pen named Riptide. He begins his quest at Camp Half Blood, which is near New York. This camp houses, protects, and trains half bloods. More so, it teaches half bloods who they really are, what powers they have, and from what god their powers came from. After traveling from New York to Los Angeles, the Underworld to Mount Olympus, and back to Camp Half Blood, Percy discovers who really stole the two god’s unique items.
Although Percy was once known as someone who appeared to not care about learning, he tries his hardest to make everyone aware that he will stick to whatever his goal is and that he will prove something of himself. The ending of this book kind of forces the reader to buy the next book because of the little cliffhanger that Rick Riordan is kind of known for including. How did Percy’s next year of school go? Does he stay in Camp Half Blood? Does he sneak out sometimes to see his friends there? Does he sometimes click the wrong pen and make a hole in his pants? These are some of the questions that Riordan leaves his readers
