Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief: Book 1

Percy Jackson is a book about a Greek boy who is a half blood - half boy half god and he is the son of Posiedon, the Greek sea god. The BIG THREE of Greek mythology are not mythology in this book: the god of air Zeus,the god of water Posiedon and Hades, the god of underworld are respected the most in Olympus, the abode of the gods and are alive and real in this book. This book is the one where Zeus accuses Percy that he has stolen his Masterbolt - the most powerful weapon though he is innocent.

With his friends Annabeth, the daughter of Athena who is the goddess of wisdom and war, and Grover, a Satyar, he sets out to find the Masterbolt. Hades thinks that Percy has stolen his devil helmet. So what will Percy do? And of course Percy and his friends stay in half blood camp and are appointed for a quest to find the bolt in 10 days. By my opinion this is a very mysterious, fast and exciting book because in the starting Percy does not know that he is a son of a god until he accidently vaporises his maths teacher with a pen which turns into a sword whenever he uncaps it and always comes back to its owner wherever he loses it. Isn't that cool? After he finishes his quest his best friend Luke tries to kill him, but he escapes. A must for children above 9 years but if smaller children want to read it no problem.
