The book The lightning thief is about a boy named Percy Jackson who is something called a half blood. He in the beginning goes to a school called Yancy Academy, a boarding school where Mr. Brunner teaches about greek gods like myths. Percy has a friend named Grover. Percy isn’t the best student so he get expelled every time he goes to a new school. When he got home from Yancy Academy he went on a trip to Montauk some things happen and Percy’s mom dies. Then he ends up at a place called Camp Half Blood. Eventually Percy finds out that his dad is/was Poseidon the god of the sea. Meaning the greek myths are real. After that Percy and his friends go on a quest to prevent a war between the gods.
My favorite part of the book is when Percy defeats Ms. Dodds on the field trip to the museum because it was really cool how Mr. Brunners pen turned into a sword.
My least favorite part was when Percy first gets to Camp Half Blood because he is really confused and scared.
I would recommend this book to people who like a good fantasy book because it has a lot of monsters and stuff like that in it.
I would give this book 4 out of 5 stars because it was confusing at some parts, but it is overall a really good book.
Hi Emma,
This book sounds exciting. Have you read others in the series?
Remember, a book review should be more heavily weighted with your critique than with summary. What else about the book worked for you?

I like how you told us what happens in the book.
I like how you made your book review like Percy Jackson alive and he was doing it at that second.
I liked how you put a lot of effort into it. But I think you should not give away as much and you should tell the reader a little more about half bloods
Emma I liked how you put a lot of effort in this book review. I also think that it it was really cool how Mr. Brunners pen turned into a sword.
