* This is my son’s review for ’The Lightning Thief/Book 1.’

(1) About this book.
     Rick Riordan, 375 pages, Fantasy fiction

(2) When and where the story takes place. Also choose one important character from this book.
     This story takes place in a place called Camp Half-Blood. Luke is a very important character. He is a son of Hermes. He is a master swords man. He is friends with Percy Jackson. He is one of the three.

(3) Briefly summarize the main events of the story.
     In the beginning, Percy Jackson gets kicked out of another boarding school. Then, his best friend Grover comes to his hime in the middle of the night. In the middle, Percy’s mom gets killed by a Minotaur and Grover takes Percy to Camp Half Blood. There, a girl from the Ares cabin tries to dunk Percy’s head in the toilet but suddenly the toilets start spraying toilet water on Clarisse. Then, Annabeth, Percy, and Grover get sent on a mission to retrive Zeus’s thunderbolt and Hades Helm. Then Percy battles and wins Ares in mortal combat. In the end, Hades returns Percy’s mom and Zeus does not kill Percy.

(4) On a scale of one to five, how would I compare this book to others I have read?
     It’s ’5.’ I would recommend this book because it has Hades, Zeus, Poseidon, and all those gods.
