the lightning theif -- extra credit

       The lightning thief is a very interesting book.I think the author, Rick Riordan is a very talented.

Percy Jackson is one of  the main character. He is a very troubled kid that has dyslexia he can't read that well

because the words come out of the page and has to go to a very special school for people with dyslexia.

Every year he gets attacked by a monster or he gets in danger some how or another. His Latin teacher is a

centaur.

    Grover a half-blood searcher realizes percy he is a half-blood, half human half god. Percy goes on a quest

to save the world from having a war that may cost the world to end. a very important weapon was stolen "the

master bolt" which is a lightning bolt that belongs to the god, Zeus. The book is based on Greek gods and

myths. The gods such as Zeus, Poseidon, Hades and more. The Greek gods and myths were told to explain

how and why lightning happened, and weren't you went if you died and more beliefs to explain why things

happened.

     I watched the movie of the lightning thief , but in my opinion the book was way better. The thing about

movies is that the plot is different and there are different settings. Its like watching or reading a new book or

 movie. I would rate the book on a scale from 1 to 10 a 9. It was very fun to read the book because there

was a lot of suspension and action that made it really interesting . I feel that I  learned a lot about Greek gods

and myths while enjoying the book.

author's note

As I was growing up, I was the youngest child in the family, my brothers were 31 and 34 I was only 5. I got everything I wanted. A year later my brother had a baby. It changed everything.I didn't get the attention I wanted and everyone stopped calling me adorable and ignored me when the baby was around . I know how it feels to be ignored.

the book im writing about is about Ryan a 6 year old that his mom is having a baby. when his mom has a baby everyone ignores him and gives more attention to the new born baby. he grows jealous and is angry at the baby. he yells at the baby when noones around...what will he do next....
