The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

My friend at school was reading this book called The Lightning Thief. When he was about halfway through it I started to read it because he said it was so good. And he was right.

It's about a kid named Percy Jackson and it turns out that he's a half-blood, mixed between a mortal and a God. He has to go on a really cool quest because Zeus' lightning bolt got stolen and he's trying to get it back for him.

I couldn't stop reading this book it was so good! The characters were really cool. One of them was a satyr which was cool. I wish I could be more like Percy because he was smart and brave and he didn't quit, even when he was in the underworld.

I would recommend this book to anyone, any age! It was so awesome! It had 375 pages. There are three other books in the series.
