The Lightening Thief book talk By Josha

Book Talk #1 By Josha

My book is The Lightening Thief by Rick Riordan

Short description…

Percy Jackson thinks of himself as just a normal troubled kid that gets kicked out of every boarding school he has ever been to. When he finds out that he is actually a half-blood (half God half human) things go from bad to worse. He finds out that Zeus’s master bolt has been stolen and he is the prime suspect! Join him and his half-blood friends as they travel to the underworld and back encountering horrible monsters along the way.

The Hook…

Imagine stepping into a world where monsters roam and Gods rule. Now imagine that you’re just a normal ‘troubled’ kid and you find out that you’re actually a part of this world –you’re a half-blood!
(Half God half human.) Moreover, you’re being held responsible for taking Zeus’s master bolt!
Percy Jackson is that kid. Journey with him and his friends as they go deep into the underworld and back to try to clear Percy Jackson’s name!

Recommendations…

I’d recommend this book to kids ages 9-13 and to people who like exhilarating adventure.

Where to find it…

The Lightening Thief is available in the VTT library, The Vancouver Public library, Kidsbooks, Chapters, and Book Warehouse.
