The Lightning Thief, by Rick Riordan, Ages 10 and up
The Lightning Thief (first book in this series) is an adventurous story of Percy Jackson, who discovers very quickly things are not as they appear.
These stories came about as a result of Rick's bedtime stories with his son. If you've got adventurous bedtime stories, start writing them down. You just never know what might become of them.
If you've read the book, then you need to see the movie. If you've seen the movie, you need to read the book. Then come back to this blog and let me know which one you like better.
The movie was good, but I enjoyed the book better.
I held off buying THE LIGHTNING THIEF for a couple years. The market seems glutted with YA fantasy at the moment, and I read quite a bit of it with my 9-year-old. We've discovered several good series, but THE LIGHTNING THIEF seemed too long to hold his attention when it first came out.
