The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan is a thrilling adventure that has a pinch of drama. It is a story about a boy named Percy Jackson. In this book Percy realizes he is not normal. He goes on a wild adventure with his friends, Grover and Annabeth, fighting monsters and traveling around the whole U.S.A. This book is totally based off of Greek Mythology, so you learn and have fun reading at the same time. I read it and I would give it a 10 out of 10.
