The Lightning Thief is the first book of 5 in Percy Jackson and the Olympians. It is a fantasy-adventure novel and is based on Greek mythology.
Percy Jackson is a normal 12 year old boy with dyslexia and ADHD, or so he thinks. He lives with his mother, Sally Jackson, and his stepfather, the smelly Gabe Ugliano. Percy has been expelled from 7 different schools in the last 7 years. One day he goes on a school trip to a greek museum where strange things start happening, like math teachers turning into monsters and pens turing into swords. When school is over Percy and his mom go to Percy's favourite beach. When they arrive Grover, his best friend, turns up and tells them to come with him to a weird camp Percy has never heard of, surprisingly his mom agrees. On the way there Percy's mom disappears and nobody knows if she is dead or alive. In this camp, Percy discovers that he is a demigod and that Zeus' lightning bolt has been stolen. Zeus thinks that Percy is the thief and wants his bolt back by midsummer solstice, which is in 10 days, or there will be war.
This is one of our favourite books. It is funny and exciting and we really reccomend it.
