Review
"The Lightning Thief" is the first book in the popular "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" series by Rick Riordan. The story follows the adventures of Percy Jackson, a twelve-year-old boy who discovers that he is a demigod, the son of the Greek god Poseidon.
Percy is sent to Camp Half-Blood, a summer camp for demigods, where he learns about his powers and meets other demigods, including his best friends, Annabeth Chase and Grover Underwood. Together, they embark on a quest to find Zeus's stolen thunderbolt, which has been stolen by the evil demigod Luke Castellan.
The Lightning Thief is a thrilling adventure story that is full of action, humor, and mythology. Riordan's writing is engaging and accessible, and he does a great job of bringing the characters and the Greek myths to life. The book is also full of humor, and Percy Jackson is a likeable and relatable protagonist.
