Lightning Thief By Rick Riordan

I'm shocked at myself. I almost forgot to review this book, the best Greek Mythology book I've every read, and one of the best books I've read total! In this, Greek myths are real. Yep. All that Achilles, Cyclops, Minotaur, Medusa stuff. Also, sometimes the Greek gods have children-with mortals. Those children are Half-bloods, or Demigods, which the main characters of this series are.

12-year-old Percy Jackson makes such a discovery that launches him

'on the most dangerous quest of his life'. First, he was sent to a special camp for Demigods, since he had found out part of his heritage (that he was related to the Gods, not which God. No, I'm not going to spoil it for you!). Then, Percy was accused of stealing Zeus' personal weapon of mass destruction- his Master Lightning Bolt. With the help from a satyr (half goat, half boy) named Grover and a daughter of Athena, Annabeth, Percy has to find the thief who stole Zeus' Bolt before the Winter Solstice- which gives him very little time (about 10 days). Encountering many different monsters from Greek Mythology (and you thought they were fake...) and even Ares (god of war), Posiedon (god of the sea/water) and Aphrodite (godess of love and beauty), Percy's life will never be the same... Okay, that's used way too often, and that should be obvious, he just found out that Greek myths are real, he's related to a Greek god and is a Demigod?! That's a lot of change for crying out loud!
Anyway, filled with excitement, mystery and awesome prophecies (sort of like warriors), I love this series (yes, it's a series)!
