Not a fan? You need to get on board. and you'll get kids babbling on about Lightning Thief. Lightning Thief won the state of Illinois Rebecca Caudill Award for best children's novel for 2009. The premise is great. Percy finds out his mother hasn't been honest about who his father is. He finds that his dad is an Olympian. Not a olympic athlete, but an Olympians, as in Zeus, bolts of lightning, weird creatures, etc. Percy finds out who his dad is through a series of tests at Camp Half Blood. All the kids at the camp are demi-gods; the children of immortals, all with different powers and strengths. Of course, if you've got good guys, you've got to have bad guys. It makes for a wonderful adventure fantasy.
