Response/Rating (1-4): 4; I loved this book for many reasons. I loved that this drew a lot of Greek history and knowledge about greek gods. This books shows a lot of growth in Percy when he has to go on a quest to find his father's lightning bolt in order to save the world. This book has a great plot that drives the book. Many children will become interested in Greek history when they read this book.
One question you would ask before a read aloud: Have you ever wished one of your parents was a super hero or a god?
