This fantasy book based on Greek mythology in modern day U.S. is exciting and thrilling! The main character, Percy Jackson, realizes he can control water. He is then sent off to Camp Half Blood to find out he is the son of Poseidon. For this reason he is sent on a quest to retrieve Zeus’s master bolt. He faces many struggles through his journey. An example of this is when he faces Hades’ minions to try to stop him from succeeding. My favorite part of the book is when Percy fights an enemy that is very gripping and reveals a big part of the story. I would recommend this to people who like fantasy and action. I would give this book 5 stars.
