About this ebook

Percy Jackson is a good kid, but he can't seem to focus on his schoolwork or control his temper. And lately, being away at boarding school is only getting worse-Percy could have sworn his pre-algebra teacher turned into a monster and tried to kill him.

Ratings and reviews

the lightning thief is a good science fiction book.Its about a half-blood boy that did not know what that was intel he got older in life.He went on a quest across the USA to reach the underworld to stop a catastrophic war between the gods

This is an amazing book, and due to such fantasy, character and Greek mythology plus the plot twist was very unique which is why I would rate this book 4.57 starts ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ A great start to an amazing series.

I love Percy Jackson! This has been my favorite series ever since my teacher introduced it to me in fifth grade. The action is wonderful, and the humor is very "juicy", as I like to call it. The author, Rick Riordan, seems to be a very funny person. The good thing is that he never tries to put humor in when it wouldn't make sense. This book is good for ages 10+, I'd suggest, unless you are okay with your child reading about monsters. The book isn't very long, but it will keep you turning pages. Overall, Percy Jackson is by far my favorite book! Go ahead, start reading! ~Maddy Kay
