The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan summary

Like many fantasy books this begins with a “normal” kid. Percy has ADHD and is switched to school after school because of the trouble he causes. After a series of unusual events at the last shool Percy’s mom and friend bring him to camp half blood. Along the way to the camp he fights and kills a minator, but not before it crushes his mother and hurts his friend Grover. When he finaly arrives at the camp he finds out it isn’t just a summer camp, but a safehaven for half children of the greek gods. He also fnds out he is the son of neptune, one of the most powerful gods.  Zues’s lighting bolt has gone missing, and he is blamed. With Grover and Anabeth he sets out to find the bolt and return it, within a week ,to prevent the gods to start a war. Secretly he also wishes to rescue his mother from the under world. He meets many mythologcal monsters and gods along the way to mount Olympus. 

 This book is very enjoyable and easy to read. It makes it even better if you know Roman or greek mythology. I would suggest it to eleven and up.

I hope you enjoyed my first summary I will try to do lots more! Please comment and tell me your opinion of the book.
