Percy lives a normal life, in normal New York City with his normal mom in a normal apartment. The only thing that is NOT normal is that his dad, is a Greek god. I read Percy Jackson And The Lightning Thief  by Rick Riordan, in the series Percy Jackson And The Olympians. The main character is a boy named Percy Jackson. His dad is a Greek god named Poseidon god of the sea so he is a half-blood (a half human half god child). The main problem is that somebody has stolen Zeus’s master bolt, and Zeus is blaming it on Percy who really does not have it. The story is set in a lot of different places but the one that is the most mentioned is a place called Camp Half Blood. The only place safe for half bloods and Percy’s only summer camp.

Percy is brave because he always fights for what’s right, like when Percy fights a guy named Luke who used to be friend because Luke is trying to rise a Titan (the things that ruled the world before the gods took over) that will kill everybody, and, well everything too. He is generous because he is always willing to give things to other people to help them, like when his friend Grover (Grover is a half-man-half- goat also known as a satyr) was trying to get something to make him an official satyr, so Percy helps him get it by going on a quest. He also always puts himself before other people because whenever he fights, he shields all the other people fighting. On his quest when he is trying to find the lightning bolt he meets Ares, god of war and Ares makes Percy do him a favor, including going into an amusement park and saving a shield (that doesn’t work out too well). He also went to pay a visit to Hades, the god of the dead, and tries to get the bolt, but Hades doesn’t have the bolt either so Hades gets mad at him and almost tortures Percy. Percy has to make a lot of decisions so that the quest will work out as smoothly as possible.

I really enjoyed the book because there is a lot of mythical things such as gods and satyrs and a ton of other really cool, things. It is a very good story about things that are mythical and makes you want to read more. I recommend this book to people who enjoy books about magic and adventures. The genre of this book is fantasy. This book is kind of like Harry Potter because there is a lot of battles and a lot of magic that goes on. I would give this book a five star rating.
