Awesome. 
 I haven't heard of this book 'cause my country doesn't sell it, until the day I watched a movie call "The Lightning Thief". Honestly, I don't really like the movie( except Logan). I find out that this movie was made from a book. I don't know why I search for the ebook of the Lightning Thief. Then I know the truth that all the characters in the series are begun at the age of 12 . The book is totally different from the movie and I'm really enjoy it... I mean, really love it. You can find anything from this book. From action, to humor, fantasy, mythical creatures, fighting, friendship, and cliff hanger...! 
 Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. 
 If you're reading this because you think you might be one, my advice is: close this book right now. Believe whatever lie your mom or dad told you about your birth, and try to lead a normal life. 
 Being a half-blood is dangerous. It's scary. Most of the time, it gets you killed in painful, nasty ways. 
 If you're a normal kid, reading this because you think it's fiction, great. Read on. I envy you for being able to believe that none of this ever happened. 
 But if you recognize yourself in these pages-if you feel something stirring inside-stop reading immediately. You might be one of us. And once you know that, it's only a matter of time before they sense it too, and they'll come for you. 
 Don't say I didn't warn you. 
 The story started with Percy Jackson - a boy who had ADHD and dyslexia. He always get kick from school each year 'cause he always made trouble, and studied bad. He lived with his mom - Sally Jackson , and his stepfather - Smelly Gabe ( oh, I love that name). He was really hated his stepfather 'cause he always drunk and poker... He also hated his father 'cause his father had left him and his mother since he was born. But things really started weird when He accidentally vaporized his Pre-algebra teacher. Mrs. Dodds - his teacher suddenly turned into a monster and requested him for something, and suddenly, Mr.Brunner - his history teacher threw him a pen - which turned to a sword, and he slighted Mrs. Dodds. Percy thought that it was just a dream, or it was a hallucination, 'cause when he asked the other students, they told him there was no one named Mrs.Dodds even Mr.Brunner told that his school never have anyone call Mrs. Dodds, although Percy suspected Grover - his best friend was lied to him. 
 Strange things started to happen again. He saw Mrs.Dodds once again. But the worst thing is, he discovered that his friend - Grover was actually a satyr. His mother drove crazily in the car to a place call Camp Half Blood while there was a monster chased after them and it is a minotaur. The minotaur killed his mom in front of him, and Percy was really furious that he kill the minotaur for revenge. He cried a lot and carry Grover to Camp Half Blood. 
 He learned the truth about himself. 
 He is actually a demigod. He is a child of the Olympians God. His father is a GOD!, but he didn't know which one. He refused to believe that the Gods of Greece are still living in the modern world to day. But he soon get used to it. 
 His ADHD causes him to have extra good battle reflexes, his dyslexia makes him read ancient Greek better. 
 He made friends with Luke - the head counselor of Hermes cabin, and Annabeth - another 12- year-old smart and beautiful girl with grey eyes and blonde hair from the Athena cabin. He tried not to painful and guilty about his mom's death, and started to learn sword-fighting, arrow, javelins, canoes,... He also knew that Mr.Brunner was actually Chiron - a centaur who taught heroes. He also had his first enemy - Clarisse - a stubborn, awful, quite ferocious, daughter of Ares who loved to bully new kids. 
 He started to enjoy his new home - Camp Half Blood. 
 He loved to eat dinner with his friends, and fighting, and hearing the sounds of monster in the night. 
 But things changed. He had nightmare most of nights. 
 After the Friday night, he knew who was his father. Everybody knew. He was the son of P.... ( Spoiler). Poseidon. The son of the Big Three. 
 Annabeth turned out to hate him, 'cause Athena and Poseidon used to against each other. 
 In the Olympians, Zeus had lost his lightning thief. 
 Someone stole it, it is definitely a human, or a demigod. Zeus thought it was Percy. 
 But Percy sured he was innocent. 
 How could he proved that? 
 He was just a 12-year-old child. 
 You shall go west, and face the god who has turned, 
 You shall find what was stolen, and see it safely returned, 
 You shall be betrayed by one who calls you a friend, 
 And you shall fail to save what matters most, in the end. 
 He had a quest. Annabeth and Grover agreed to accompanied. But could Percy complete his mission? 
 Who is the god he had to face? Who betrayed him? 
 Percy began his adventure and fighting with monsters, traveled around America to find the thief and the lightning... 
 But one things for sure: He had to fail.
