Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief is a novel by Rick Riordian, and is a truly amazing fantasy story about a boy named Percy. He looks normal enough, but is actually the son of the Greek God, Poseidon. At Camp Half-Blood, where people like Percy go to, he meets two new friends. A satyr, who is a boy half up, but a goat half down, and a girl named Annabeth, daughter of Athena.

These three go on the most dangerous quest anyone has ever been on, to retrieve Zeus’s stolen Master-Bolt, a weapon of mass destruction, before the gods take part in a huge war. Percy goes through so many adventures along the way, and even finds friends who betray him. I recommend this book to people who love a good fantasy adventure!
