OK, hey everyone, I'm very excited to share with you the first ever post of my new label BOOK REVIEWS!!!!!! After a long time trying to decide what to choose for my first ever issue, I decided on one of my personal favorites......... The Percy Jackson Series!!!!!!!!!! When I first read the books, I was like 9, and I never wanted it to end! Now I'm twelve, and to this day I have reread it about a million times, and can literally recite all 12 major Greek gods. For those of you who haven't read it, and so I'm actually reviewing the book, it's all about these teenagers who are the sons and daughters of Greek gods.
The first book is all about Percy Jackson, and his normal human life at his boarding school. Then, when monsters begin attacking, he must leave his mother Sally and cruel stepfather Gabe to go to a demigod training camp. On the way there, his mother is taken by Hades through the minotaur, and Percy kills the monster before being knocked unconscious. When he wakes up, he is surrounded by challenges such as the bully Clarisse, a daughter of Ares trying to stuff him down a toilet, and game of Capture the Flag which got unexpectedly dangerous when someone (SPOILER) cough, cough, Luke, cough cough, summons a hell hound. When he is claimed as Poseidon's son, though, his whole new life changes.
He is forced to go on a quest to find Zeus's lighting bolt before a war breaks out. He must find three pearls before going to see Hades, where the bolt is believed to be. His mothers life is also on the line as he is also headed there to find her- although no one but him knows about his secret agenda. After facing monsters, and gods, he finally saves the day, returns the bolt, and saves him mom. Gabe gets kicked out to. Percy finishes the summer at camp, before deciding to live with his mother for the rest of the year. Another perfect happy ending!
I know this is super over due, and I'm really sorry, it took me a lot longer than I thought. You know how life gets in the way. I hope you can all forgive me, and I will make sure to publish another one as soon as possible. (Which, since you know me, could be a little while.) See you soon, hopefully within the month!!!
