The Lightning Thief by Rick RiordanPercy Jackson has always had a tough time at school, but he wasn't expecting his math teacher to turn into a demon and attack him during the field trip - nor that his favorite teacher would toss him a sword to fight with. What Percy discovers is that he is the son of a Greek god and is, as a result, a hero like Hercules. But whose son is he, and will he survive his terrifying quest to retrieve an invaluable weapon?
The Lightning Thief is exciting, funny (I laughed out loud a number of times) and full of interesting characters. It's a great twist on Greek mythology and how it fits into modern life in a very "Men in Black" kind of way - including the altered memories of regular human witnesses.
4 stars out of 5 for The Lightning Thief.
