The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 1)
Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is on the most dangerous quest of his life. With the help of a satyr and a daughter of Athena, Percy must journey across the United States to catch a thief who has stolen the original weapon of mass destruction—Zeus’ master bolt. Along the way, he must face a host of mythological enemies determined to stop him. Most of all, he must come to terms with a father he has never known, and an Oracle that has warned him of betrayal by a friend.

I love the story so much. I thought social studies was boring but, Percy and Rick Riordan made it a blast. Once you read it you will never get out of the Percy Jackson world!
This book was AMAZING. I re-read this and found it just as magical and adventurous as before! It’s fun, and perfect for kids and teens AND adults.
This is an amazing book! It is very similar to the Harry Potter series. The excitement of the battles, characters, and monsters left me on the edge of my seat through the entire ride.
