The Lightning Thief

Do you like the Harry Potter series? Do you enjoy learning about Greek mythology? Well then, be sure to pick up a copy of Rick Riordan's "The Lightning Thief"! Everything from the Minotaur from the satyr, every mythological story that you have learned about will be in this book. Enter Perseus Jacson(or Percy, for short), a normal 12 year old. Except that he has been kicked out of every school he's been to! He is not one to "fit in".
He lives only with his mom, for his father took a trip out on the sea, never to return...or at least that is what his mom says. However, how would he react if his father were OR IS the almighty god of the sea, POSEIDON!! And that's not all...everything goes haywire when Zeus, god of the sky, accuses Percy of stealing his master bolt, his most powerful weapon, capable of zapping lightning straight out of the sky. You'll just have to read to find out....
