For the first quarter, I decided to read Percy Jackson and The Olympians. This novel is written by Ricky Riordan. The genre to this 375 page book is fiction.
The main character is Percy Jackson. He is the son of Poseidon, God of the sea. In the book, Percy has been accused of stealing Zeus's master bolt, which is the most powerful weapon ever created, and he must return it by the summer solstice. If not, there will be a big war. The book starts out with Percy introducing himself and telling his story on how he learned he was a demigod (half human / half god). Before he even knows the truth about himself, he goes to an academy named Yancy. During his time at Yancy Academy, he gets into fights, fails in every subject except his Latin class, and sees his math teacher, a fury (a female creature of spirits, justice and vengeance), obliterated. After that, one of his closest friends, Grover who's a satyr, and Mr. Brunner (Chiron) take him to camp half blood where he trains in combat. At dinner, Hades showed up and threatened Percy to give him the bolt or he'd kill his mother. After hearing that, Percy decided to leave camp half blood to save his mother. On his way out, Grover and Annabeth (a daughter of Athena, goddess of wisdom and battle strategy) join him. Through his Journey, he goes through many battles and almost dies each time. How does his Journey end? Will there be a war with the gods? Read the book if you want to find out.
I really, truly enjoyed this book because of the powers these demigods possess, and all the action. There was nothing in this book that I didn't like.
