Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan - review

After getting expelled from his school after another fight with monsters, Percy (or Perseus) Jackson is forced to go to Camp Half-Blood, a place that will keep him safe, where he finally learns about his abnormality. He is a Half-Blood: half human, half Greek God! And better still, his father is the Greek god Poseidon, the commander of the sea! All too soon, an interesting prophecy from the mysterious Oracle delivers Percy and his friends (Annabeth the Demigod and Grover the Satyr) on a quest, a challenge most Demigods never have in their lifetime, to return Zeus' Master Bolt to it's rightful owner and make peace amongst the Gods!

I think this book was really interesting and is a great way to get you into Greek Mythology! When you read it, it makes you feel like you are transported into the book!
