What if the Greek gods were still alive? What if you had a Greek god for a father? What if ancient Greek monsters were trying to kill you? These things are exactly what happens in The Lightning Thief Book 1 of Percy Jackson & the Olympians. Percy is a demigod who while on his way to Summer Camp at Camp Half-Blood barely escapes from a deadly Minotaur. Once he gets to camp he discovers that Zeus is missing his master lightning bolt, and he thinks that Percy stole it. Will Percy be able to find it in the 10 day time period he has been given?
This is a five book series for Grades 4 and up, and each one cleverly incorporates elements of Greek mythology. I am just starting the final book, The Last Olympian, and I can't wait to see how it ends.
The final book was just as good as all the other. I loved it!
