Precy Jackson and the Lightening Thief

A story with five books by Rick Riordan. And this being the first, well, it's not too bad. Actually, it's pretty funny. For teens, it will be quite good. A rather impressive imagination. A creative blend between the Greek myth with the modern world. It's definitely a good read for teenagers, especially for most would be able to, relate. And perhaps, even wished and hope that, they too, are the Half-Bloods.

This book has since been made into a major film. Of course, there are numerous differences between the movie and the book itself. The book, it make sense of the story. The movie, of course, it is more dramatic with several different pieces pieced together. It's actually, quite different.

Synopsis:

Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. I never asked to be the son of a Greek God.

I was just a normal kid, going to school, playing basketball, skateboarding. The usual. Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher. That's when things really started going wrong. Now I spend my time fighting with swords, battling monsters with my friends and generally trying to stay alive. This is the one where Zeus, God of the Sky, thinks that I've stolen his lightening bolt - and making Zeus angry is a very bad idea.

Can Percy find the lightening bolt before a fully fledged War of the Gods erupts?
