My Rating: 5/5
Review: This was a wonderfully magical romp, complete with famous gods from Greek mythology. Percy Jackson is a twelve-year-old boy, and he has a big secret even he doesn't know about. When his teacher suddenly turns into a hideous beast and tries to kill him, however, it becomes pretty obvious that he's meant for more then just repeatedly getting kicked out of boarding schools. The dyslexia and ADD he was diagnosed with may not be the case. It could just be that he's the son of a god. A very powerful god, at that. What a wild ride! What a blast! I am so looking forward to more.
Book Description: Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school...again. No matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to stay out of trouble. But can he really be expected to stand by and watch while a bully picks on his scrawny best friend? Or not defend himself against his pre-algebra teacher when she turns into a monster and tries to kill him? Of course, no one believes Percy about the monster incident; he’s not even sure he believes himself.
Until the Minotaur chases him to summer camp.
Suddenly, mythical creatures seem to be walking straight out of the pages of Percy’s Greek mythology textbook and into his life. The gods of Mount Olympus, he’s coming to realize, are very much alive in the twenty-first century. And worse, he’s angered a few of them: Zeus’s master lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect.
Now Percy has just ten days to find and return Zeus’s stolen property, and bring peace to a warring Mount Olympus. On a daring...
