Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Chantele


Percy Jackson isn't your ordinary 12 year old. He has been kicked out
of multiple schools, for disrupting classes, and has moved several
times over the years. He has been diagnosed with ADHD, and dyslexia, which doesn't help the situation much.  Little does he know, there is a much bigger
reason he has moved, and why he has such a hard time in school.
 After
his math teacher turns into a monster on a field trip, Percy suddenly
wonders what is wrong with him. No one believes him, and he starts to
think he is going crazy. Soon after, he is chased by the ancient
Minotaur, and suddenly thrust into an adventure of a lifetime. Percy
finds out he is the son of one of the Gods of Mount Olympus. Only,
which one?
After arriving at a summer camp for "halfbloods", Percy
is accused of stealing Zeus's master lightning bolt. He is then sent on
a quest to find it. With the help of a few friends, he starts an
amazing adventure, which leads him to places he never dreamed of going.
Does he find out who his father is? Will he find out why he has such
vivid detailed nightmares?
I really enjoyed this book. I am looking
forward to reading the next books in the series. If you liked Harry
Potter, or Fablehaven, or have an interest in Greek Mythology, you will
love this book! It is clean, has a lot of adventure and is humorous as
well!
