Book 1: The Lightning Thief
In the first book of the series, Percy Jackson figures out he’s not a normal kid, he’s a demigod. Now he has to go on a quest with Annabeth and Grover to get Zeus’ lightning bolt back. Will he make it back alive?
Percy, Anabeth, and Grover set out together to get the lightning bolt but Zeus thinks Percy has stolen it. Percy has only 10 days to get it back but there is lots to overcome, such as hideous monsters, angry gods, and finding out who his father is.
I thought the book had lots of action with fierce battles that Percy faced against monsters. One of my favourite battles was when Percy was fighting Ares. This is a real test for Percy because Ares is the God of War and best fighter there is and this made the battle really tense. Percy is really funny and there’s lots of jokes throughout the book, making the book very entertaining.
I think this is one of my personal favourites and one of Rick Riordan’s best books. This is book one of a five book series and it got me into to reading more books by Rick Riordan and other authours.
