The Lightning Thief By Rick Riordan
Part of the Percy Jackson and The Olympians series • Book One • Published in 2005
Setting • The story starts at Yancy Academy in New York • Many events occur throughout the story which makes them move from place to place • So there is no real setting • A lot of the story takes place at Camp Half-Blood
Percy Jackson • Main character in the story • He is a boy that is 12 years old • He is the son of Poseidon • He is a half-blood • He is very arrogant • Because of his father • He gets into a lot of trouble • Overall he is a good friend
Grover • Grover is a Satyr • A Satyr is a person that is half goat and half human • We do not know how old Grover is because Satyrs can live for a very long time • He likes to eat mostly cans • He is also a great friend
Annabeth • Is a girl around the same age as Percy and Grover • She is the daughter of Athena • She is a half-blood • She is brilliant • She is wise • Smart • And just the person to keep Percy and Grover on track
The Plot … • Starts with a young boy named Percy Jackson that finds out that he is a Half-blood, half human half god • Later some evil creatures attack him so his mom and Grover take him to camp half-blood • They tried to run from the Minotaur and Percy’s mom was the one that did not make it • At Camp Half Blood he finds out his father is Poseidon • Although Poseidon has a son the three superior gods Poseidon, Zeus, and Hades agreed not to have children many years before Percy was born
Plot continued… • After the other superior gods found out about Percy he was blamed by Zeus for taking his Lightning Bolt • Zeus forces Percy to find the Bolt • So Percy set out on a journey with Grover and a new friend named Annabeth • Then went through many life threatening events on their journey • And one of them he had to face his dead mother and he had a choice trade the bolt or receive his mother • Will he make it back to give Zeus his Lightning Bolt?
MY FAVORITE PART • My favorite part was when they ran into Medusa • Percy finds out that Medusa was once in a relationship with his father Poseidon • So he killed Medusa by decapitating her • After he wrapped it and sent the head to Poseidon
Recommendation • I highly recommend this book for people that want to read an action pact book. It has a new action event every chapter, which makes you want to read more every time. Overall this is a great book and I highly recommend it.
