Percy
Jackson and the Olympians
The Lighting
Thief
I have recently read
the book “The Lightning Thief.” This is
the first book of the series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” by Rick Riordan.
The book is 375 pages long. I really
enjoyed reading it and have decided to write a blog about it. It is an
interesting book with many twists and turns. If you are reading this blog and
have currently read this book, please write your comments about it below. However, if you haven’t read it, than you
should consider reading the Percy Jackson series. Hopefully after reading this
blog, you will be convinced to do so. It is a wonderful book!
Conflict
Zeus is convinced
that Poseidon sent Percy Jackson to steal his master bolt. Percy must go on a quest to find and retrieve
Zeus’s master bolt to prove his innocence.
Summary
This book is about a twelve year old boy named Percy Jackson. He is sent to Camp Half-Blood
because strange things begin to happen to him.
Camp Half-Blood is a place where children with fathers or mothers who
are gods are sent, making them demi gods. While at camp, Percy finds out that he is the
son of Poseidon and he learns how to use his powers.
Percy Jackson has been falsely accused of stealing Zeus’s
master bolt. In order to prove his innocence, he must go on a mission to find
the bolt, and return it to Zeus. In addition to that, he must also go to Hades
and get back his mother (who had earlier on vanished to the underworld). He,
Annabeth, and Grover are all to complete this quest. Percy
and his friends face many challenges. They have to fight various mythological
creatures, such as: hellhounds, Medusa, Furies, Echidna, a Minotaur, and
others. Will Percy complete his mission successfully?
Will his mother return safely? You must read the book to find out!
