The title of my book is The Lightning Thief. It is the first book of the Percy Jackson series and the author of my book is Rick Riordan. The main characters in my book are Percy Jackson and his best friends Annabeth and Grover. The main problem in this story is that Percy Jackson gets attacked by a bunch of monsters and is blamed for stealing the bolt, a lightning bolt that belongs to a Greek God.  Percy Jackson is trying to get the bolt to Zeus. The setting of my book is in New York City, but sometimes they travel.

A big event that happened in my book was the first time Percy battled a monster. The monster was a “Fury”. He had no clue what to do until his teacher threw him a pen, and then when he uncapped the pen it was actually a sword. Percy trembled as he couldn’t believe his eyes. What I found to be most interesting was when he is in water, he is always dry. He can breathe underwater because he’s the son of Poseidon, which is a God.  This is interesting, because it is like having superpowers in the water. Another thing that I thought was interesting was that there were so many Gods, because I did not know very much about Gods.

One adjective to describe Percy Jackson is brave, because he went on a scary quest in the book to find the lightning bolt to give back to the owner. Most people who go on quests never come back. Another way to describe my character is prey, because all of the monsters want to attack and eat him. Another adjective to describe my character is sneaky, because in the book he snuck into the teacher’s office. In the office, he quietly listened to what the teacher and Grover were talking about. He also had to sneak into the underworld and pretend he was dead. One quote in this book that I think describes the character is, “I have to save these people.” This describes him well, because he will do whatever it takes to save other people before he saves himself.

I enjoyed this book a lot because it is very mysterious, and I love mysteries. It is also a good bedtime story because it is spooky and gives me fun dreams. I definitely recommend this book because it is an amazing story to read: it is happy and sad at the same time. If you like happy and sad mysteries you will like this book. This book reminds me of the movie Goosebumps because it has mysteries and fairytales in it. I would give this book five stars ★★★★★.
