spinecrackers say: "read this!"

Book Review by Javari Chas
Lightning Thief, by Rick Riordan

Percy is a normal kid, or so he thinks! He soon finds out that he is the son of Poseidon, the Greek God of the sea. Percy first learns that something fishy is going on when his algebra teacher turns into a monster and attacks him on a school fieldtrip and he accidentally vaporizes her with a ball point point which is actually a sword in disguise.

Percy then learns that his best friend is a satyr, assigned to look out for him and to take him to a special camp for the offspring of Gods.

The author does a good job blending Greek myths into a modern setting. By the end of this book, I bet you will wish you were in Percy’s shoes.
