The Lightning Thief (by Emmeline)

My 9-year-old daughter Emmeline wants to start contributing to the blog, so here is her first review.


Title: The Lightning Thief
Author: Rick Riordan
Ages: 8 and up

Summary: 12- year-old Percy Jackson’s life starts getting weird when his math teacher, Mrs. Dodds, turns into a demon and, while that is happening, his Latin Teacher, Mr. Brunner, throws him a pen that turns into a sword. Then, when he goes on a vacation to the beach with his mom, his best friend, Grover, knocks on the door of the cabin. Percy soon learns his friend is a satyr, an animal with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a goat. He is also whisked away to Camp Half-Blood, a camp for half-bloods, people that are half human and half god. He finds out he is a half-blood! Percy meets Annabeth, daughter of Athena, and She, Percy, and Grover go on the adventure of a lifetime to restore Zeus’s stolen master bolt.

Rating: I would give it 3 out of 3 stars. ***
This book is a very good fantasy story, with cliffhangers that make you want to keep reading. I liked all of it, the characters, the action, and just the story itself. My favorite character was Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena. The whole story is exciting, with monsters and gods along the way. Rick Riordan is an amazing author and his books are unbelievable.
