The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan



Though you can say that Fantasy books are only for "Kids", "The Lightning Thief" will blow your mind! This dynamic book is filled with tons of action, humour and surprises.
Percy Jackson( main character) seems like an ordinary kid. Well, he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer having been diagnosed with Dyslexia and ADHD( Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) . He had been kicked out from many schools due to his " health issues". Surprisingly, he later finds out that he's a son of an Olympic God! But the God's identity remains a mystery.
And to make matters complicated, Zeus' lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect!!!

Now it's up to Percy to return Zeus' property before the Summer Solstice or the world will end as we know it.

I would recommend this book to everyone interested in Greek Mythology. As a matter of fact, this book is so incredible that I would want to recommend anyone from 8 to 108!! This action packed novel will have your hands glued to the pages!! I give this book two thumbs up!! Copyright 2010
