The name of this book is Percy Jackson and the Olympians:The Lightning Thief. The Lightning Thief is the first of a five book series. The main characters are Percy, his mom Sally, and his two best friends, Grover and Annabeth. The story is about Percy who finds out he is a demigod. A demigod is the child of a Greek god and a mortal human. Percy goes to a special camp with other demigods. At the camp they train to fight monsters. Percy goes on a quest with Grover and Annabeth to prove to the god Zeus he did not steal his lightning bolt and save his mother from the god Hades.

I liked the part when Percy, Annabeth,and Grover run into Medusa. They cannot look into her eyes or they will turn into statues. I also liked the part where Percy magically sprays water from the toilet into the face of a bully at camp named Clarisse. I think Percy is a funny, yet serious boy. He is very nice and sticks up for his friends. He is not very smart but is still a good friend to have.

I would recommend this book to a friend because it is fun and interesting. The best thing about this book is after every chapter it leaves you wondering what is going to happen next. I think everyone will like it because it has a mix of genres such as comedy and fantasy. This book is different from any other book I have ever read. That makes it even better. This is the best book I have ever read!

This book is really popular! For more input on The Lightning Thief click here and here.
