THE LIGHTNING THIEF, BY RICK RIORDAN
Percy Jackson has been to five different schools in five years, expelled from all of them. But in his sixth grade year, he was sure to be good. Of course that only lasted until he accidently vaporized his pre-algebra teacher with a pen. Long story. Along with the problem of about to get kicked out of boarding school., apparently the Greek 'Mythological' gods are real, and Zeus' Master Bolt has been stolen. The big news? Percy is the prime suspect.
Percy, along with his friends Grover and Annabeth travel across the US, encountering Greek mythological monsters along the way, running favors for gods, and and almost dying plenty of times in the process.
The book is well written, and I've really gotten to know Greek mythology from reading it. Rick Riordan really catches you and holds tight, and you can hardly put the book down. The book is superb, and I really have enjoyed it. No bad language except for the occasional use of 'oh my gods' and 'butt'. This is the first book in a series of seven (eighty is on the way). I recommend the book. Very much so. Happy reading,
