 * Written by Rick Riodan

Percy Jackson is one his school’s students who is not smart and just doesn’t understand his work. Percy Jackson has ADHD and gets expelled from every boarding school that he has gone to. He is just a normal kid (or so he thinks.) He and his best friend, Grover, or off to a field trip to an Ancient Greek museum and his substitute teacher Mrs. Dodds pulls him aside. Percy comes back to the museum and does not see Mrs. Dodds, he looks around and he doesn’t believe what he sees. Mrs. Dodds has turned into these green, scaly, fangs, and has large claws on a huge looking monster. She picks Percy up and asks him, “Where is the lightening bolt?” She throws him to the round and is wondering what is going on? His tour guide and Latin Teacher Mr. Brunner threw him a sword. Percy slices Mrs. Dodds into pieces. He starts to talk about it to Grover and he has no idea what he is talking about. Percy starts to think he was just hallucinating. Then after a week of thinking it was all a hallucination, Grover tells him the truth. Percy finds out that he is a half blood a half god and a half human. He has to go to a special camp for kids like him. On the way a huge minotaur, half bull half human, attacks them and takes Percy’s mother. Percy and Grover barely makes it out. Percy wakes up in Camp Half Blood, He finds out his mother is not dead, and also that he has been accused of stealing Zeus’s master bolt. Percy must go to the underworld to straighten this out with Hades the go d of the underworld. Percy and his friends Grover and Anna Beth go on a journey across America to go to the underworld on the run from all types of monsters.

Review I think this is one of the best books I’ve read. I do not reading a lot but when I started reading this book I just couldn’t put it down. This book perfectly balances action and suspense.

Recommendation I would definitely recommend this to a friend who likes s action. This book also has a lot of history about ancient Greece. You get the chance to learn about the gods of Ancient Greece.
