I am reading a book called Percy Jackson and the Lighting Thief, written by Rick Riordan.

I have to admit I loved this book; it is so exciting! When I opened the book and as I read the first couple of pages it was packed with adventure. There are so many things going through your head. What will happen next?

This book is about a boy called Percy Jackson. He is a half blood: half  God/half boy, and he goes to a private school for troubled kids. Percy Jackson has a best friend Grover but there is a big secret that Percy Jackson doesn’t know about Grover. There is someone else in with Grover. Unsuspectedly the person who is in with Grover is Mr Brunner, who is the teacher in a wheel electric wheelchair. Mr Brunner and Grover had a secret meeting after school without Percy but the thing that they didn’t know is that Percy was behind the corner listening into what they were saying. The thing Percy heard was that he was half God. Is this true? Is he being delusional? Is this just all a dream that he wake up from?

Find out more and read the book. I give this book a 7/10 and I recommend this book to teenagers and boys and girls.
