Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief - Film Tie-in (Book 1 of Percy Jackson)

Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. I never asked to be the son of a Greek god. I was just a normal kid, going to school, playing basketball, skateboarding. The usual. Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher. That's when things started really going wrong.

From Twentieth Century Fox comes the star-studded and eagerly awaited Percy Jackson film.

Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. I never asked to be the son of a Greek god. I was just a normal kid, going to school, playing basketball, skateboarding. The usual. Until I accidentally vaporised my maths teacher. That's when things started really going wrong.

Now I spend my time fighting with swords, battling monsters with my friends and generally trying to stay alive.

This is the one where Zeus, God of the Sky, thinks I've stolen his lightning bolt - and making Zeus angry is a very bad idea . . .

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan receives praise for its exciting blend of Greek mythology with modern-day adventures, making it captivating for both children and adults. The protagonist's engaging journey and relatable characters draw readers into an imaginative world filled with humour and action. However, some suggest that while the pacing is brisk and entertaining, it occasionally sacrifices depth in character development.
