Percy Jackson and the Olympians- book 1: The Lightning Thief

Hello!

So, I had just finished a book last week and it was Percy Jackson and the Olympians- The Lightning Thief. It is written by Rick Riordan and it is my second time reading a book written by him and if you have not read any of his books you should really start reading into his world of mythology! The Lightning Thief is a really awesome book that will make you stay up all night wanting to read his book. 

Firstly, let me start of by telling you by telling you guys about this amazing author. Rick Riordan is the author of three number one New York Times best-selling series of books that have made millions of copies for millions of people, who have loved reading his famous books, throughout the world. These series include Percy Jackson and the Olympians, which is based on Greek mythology; The Kane Chronicles, based on Ancient Egyptian mythology; and the Heroes of Olympus, which is based on Greek and Roman mythology. He also worked with his illustrator John Rocco on two great collections of Greek myths for the whole series. They are Percy Jackson's Greek Gods and Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes. He has also written two new series which I think came out last year and one this year. They are Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard and the Apollo series. The Magnus Chase series is based on Norse mythology and the series consists of two books. The first book, the Sword of  Summer is also rated number one in the New York Times. Rick Riordan lives in Boston, Massachusetts with his wife and his two sons. 

Now, let's get to the main idea, what the book is about. The series like said earlier is based on Greek mythology. Let me start off by with the characters. The main characters are Percy, Annabeth, Grover, these are the main characters and the other characters are Chiron (Mr. Brunner), Mrs. Dodds, Ares, Luke, and some other background characters that appear in like four or five chapters. Oh, and there is one more character and that is Percy's stepfather, Gabe Ugliano, also known as smelly Gabe. The three main characters are between the age of eleven to thirteen. 

 So, the main story starts when Percy gets suspended out of his school...again. He is sent home to his mom and stepdad back in Manhattan, New York and Grover gives his holiday home address to Percy while Percy has no idea why. Once Percy reaches home, he and his mom go to the beach but the next day on the beach, a disaster occurs and he finds his friend coincidentally  at his front door of the cabin. Percy and his mom and Grover have to fight this monster (I am not going to mention his name so read the book to find out if you haven't read the book). Grover and Percy do survive but Percy does faint or something and when he wakes up he finds himself on a bed in a camp known as Camp Half-Blood and he also finds himself being fed by a girl, who is eventually come to be known as Annabeth. 

After a few days at Camp-Half-Blood,  Percy finds out that he is the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea and also finds out two other things: first thing, Poseidon was forbidden from having any children and second, he was a half-blood and all these kids at camp half-blood are children of gods. Another few days later, Percy also finds out that he is to be sent on a mission to find Zeus's (the sky god) lightning bolt, which he accuses Poseidon of stealing. The two gods are about to get into the biggest fights that they had ever had in centuries. Percy has to find the lightning bolt and return it to Zeus before Zeus and Poseidon get into one of the biggest conflict that has ever happened in centuries. (Zeus and Poseidon are brothers).
