The lightning thief is about a boy called
Percy Jackson, being one of the worst behaving students. He had been kicked out by school for uncountable times. Until one day, he met minotaur, yes, the one and only minotaur. In fact, the same one that the son of Poseidon, Theseus killed over two thousand years ago. After the battle, Percy fainted, as he woke up, he realized he was sent to this place called camp Half- Blood.
This is when everything goes wrong, Percy was told that his mom has dies during his fight with the minotaur. He realized his best friend Grover was a satyr and was to protect him from danger. After that he saw someone that looked exactly the same as his history teacher, Mr. Brunner. Yes, he is Mr. Brunner but his real name was actually Chiron Kentavros, the activities director in camp Half- Blood. Later on, he was introduced to Mr. D, the camp director. Do you know what Mr. D stands for? Dionysus, the god of wine! You know who he also met? The daughter of Athena, the goddess of war. The worst thing was that he was sent to cabin eleven which are people who still doesn't know who their mom or dad is. His adventure in camp Half- Blood is starting to begin.
I liked the part when everyone was playing 'Capture the flag' because there were a lot of action going on. It was also when Percy found out who his father was. The lightning thief is a fantastical blend of myth and modern. I recommend this book to everyone, especially the ones who loves myths and gods. This book is a must read.
