I just finished The Lightning Thief this week and I must say, I really enjoyed it. I was skeptical to read it at first because I wouldn't say that I'm really the fantasy genre kind of gal, but I couldn't put this book down! It is written in a very conversational manner which is great for kids learning about voice and perspective in reading and writing. The language also makes the book a lot of fun to read and very relatable for adolescent kids. Finally, obviously this book deals with mythology and Greek myths, making it the perfect companion for a unit on Greek mythology.
I give this book 5/5 stars.
