Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief


The book starts out with a troubled 7th grader, Percy Jackson, who always seems to be getting in trouble. What he will discover changes his entire life. Percy must go on a crazy, fun and dangerous adventure to prove his innocence to a god, or all Olympus breaks loose!
I loved this book because it is a good escape, it combines good fantasy and actual facts and it is great for anybody (like me) who loves Greek Mythology. I have already recommended this book to friends. I give it 4 out of 5 TACKMEN! It is a great book for Middle School students, especially me, because the main character and I are both 7th graders!
