Who would like this book? Kids 11+
Why? Percy Jackson is asked to go on this quest and is allowed to bring his two friends, Annabeth and Grover. They go on tons of crazy adventures.They are trying to find out who stole the lighting bolt. If it’s not returned to Olympus by the Winter Solstice, there is going to be a huge war between the gods.They have to battle monsters everywhere. It’s a really dangerous quest. Near the end Grover goes out to find Pan (a god), because everyone thinks he’s dead. It’s a very good book in my opinion.
