Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief is the first bestselling book in Rick Riordan's phenomenally successful Percy Jackson series - now with a new cover look. Half boy. Half God. ALL Hero.
Half Boy, Half God, All Hero, that’s Percy Jackson, but he didn’t choose or want to be a half-blood or the son of a Greek god. Percy was just a normal kid until he accidentally vaporised his maths teacher. Now Percy spends his time fighting with swords, battling monsters with his friends and generally trying to stay alive.

The idea of this book and the idea of half-bloods is unlike any other book, and it is so unique.
The character choice definitely also has an impact on the reader and just makes the story that bit better.
The word choice was absolutely fantastic and Percy Jackson is one of the best book characters I have ever read about! Easy 5/5 book for me!... Read Full Review
