Normally, I don't include books that are picked up without my help, but since the movie was not that great, you might miss a great read. For those of you who thought the movie was great, you got to read the book to see why most of my students didn't. Percy doesn't fit in at school or home. His step dad is awful and his mom has sent him to boarding schools, but loves him enough to keep him safe any way she can. He doesn't understand until events send him to Camp Half-Blood, where he learns who his real dad really is and why this fact has been a problem his whole life. This news is only a start of the adventures that will either kill him or worst end civilization. I have to admit, I missed at least one mythical monster coming. Will you? If you love Greek Myths or a fast paced adventure, you will not be able to put this down. I wonder if deep down Percy would want to trade places with a regular, normal middle schooler (as if there are any of those). Would you really want to trade places with him? Read this book before you answer that question.
