Book Summary

Winner of the 2007 BookBrowse Ruby Award.

It's just a small story really, about among other things: a girl, some words, an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist-fighter, and quite a lot of thievery. . . .

Set during World War II in Germany, Markus Zusak's groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can't resist - books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement before he is marched to Dachau. This is an unforgettable story about the ability of books to feed the soul.

Somebody stole Zeus' strongest thunderbolt and Percy Jackson must find it before fights in Olympus start.

The 5 book series of Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan, for me, is a must read. It is about a boy named Percy Jackson who is dyslexic and has ADHD, nothing abnormal about this right? What about the fact that he is a half-blood? His is one of the many children of Poseidon, the God of the Waters. In the first book (The Lightning Thief) Percy goes on a quest with his friend Annabelle and his best friend, a satyr named Grover. The quest is to retrieve the Lightning Bolt that Zeus, another God stole. I recommend this book to anybody who likes fantasy, adventure, exciting, unpredictable and/or action packed books. The 1st book I believe is the shortest. The books range from 200-350 pages (my estimate). I hope anyone who takes on my recommendation enjoys this book as much as I did!

the basic plot would be that Percy, Annabeth, and Grover go on a quest to find the stolen lightning bolt and return it to Zeus before the summer solstice

Here's the summary: (WARNING: MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS!)

*more like a essay by the way :-)

Percy goes to a field trip with his Latin teacher called Mr. Brunner. Unfortunately, Percy gets attacked by his pre-algebra techer (Mrs. Dodds) which turns out to be one of the Furies (also known as the Kindly Ones). Once he gets attacked, he gets kicked out of Yancy Academy leaving his best friend, Grover, behind. While going back to his house with Grover at the bus, the bus breaks down. He gets out only to find the Fates determing Percy's destiny. When he gets home, (ditching Grover who asked him to go home with him after seeing the Fates) his mom takes him to a vacation at Montauk and again, unfortunately, a hurricane spoils his trip and mysteriously meets Grover. Percy's mom talks about what summer camp he has to go to. They get attacked by the Minotaur while driving to Percy's summer camp. He unfortunately loses his mom by the Minotaur and later kills it. The summer camp turns out to be Camp Half-Blood. He falls unconscious and later found getting taken care of a girl named Annabeth. She talks about how Percy is related to a prophecy. Mr. Brunner was suprisingly was also at this camp. He explains how the Greek gods, titans, monsters, heroes were real. He explains how Percy has a Greek god as a father. After a few days of training and the mysterious question of who is Percy's godly parent, it turns out to be Poseidon, god of the Sea. Since he was one of "The Big Three" he was treated with great care since most monsters would chase after him because the three gods (sons of Kronos: Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades) made a solemn vow to the River Styx not to give birth to any hero since they were dangerous after the WWII. Since both Zeus and Poseidon broke the oath, Hades gets angry and sends his bloodthirstiest monsters to attack the heroes. Chiron thinks camp is not safe and sends Percy to a quest: To receive the stolen master bolt of Zeus and give it back before the summer solstice. He receives the prophecy from the Spirit of Delphi which says: You shall go west, and face the god that turned, You shall find what was stolen, and see it safely returned, You shall be betrayed by one who calls you a friend, And you shall fail to save what matters most in the end. Later, Percy accepts the quest, facing the fact that he'll be betrayed by a friend and fail to do what matters at the end....

This is what is on the back of The Lightning Thief book:

" Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding

school . . . again . And that's the least of his troubles. Lately,

mythological monsters and the gods of Mount Olympus seem to

be walking straight out of the pages of Percy's Greek mythology

textbook and into his life. And worse, he's angered a few of them.

Zeus's master lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the

prime suspect.

Now Percy and his friends have just ten days to find and

return Zeus's stolen property and bring peace to a warring Mount

Olympus. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more

than catch the true thief: he must come to terms with the father

who abandoned him; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which which warns

him of betrayal by a friend; and unravel a treachery more powerful

than the gods themselves."

The Lightning Thief chapter analysis?

Luke, son of Hermes. He seems cool at the beginning, but he really isn't.

Percy Jackson is a 6th grader who, after a series of inexplicable events, is attacked by a Minotaur, along with his mother and friend Grover (recently revealed to be a satyr on their way to some sort of camp. His mother is killed, but Percy defeats the Minotaur. He and his friend arrive at camp Half-Blood, a camp for children of the 12 Olympian gods. Here, Percy meets Annabeth, a daughter of Athena, and Luke, a son of Hermes. Percy is soon revealed to be a son of Poseidon. He learns that Zeus's master lightning bolt was stolen, and that Percy is the prime suspect, and that if the bolt is not returned before the Summer Solstice, there will be a war among the gods. Percy and Chiron, the trainer of the camp, suspect that Hades, god of the underworld, is responsible for the theft, as he was at Olympus when it was stolen on the Winter Solstice. Percy, along with Grover and Annabeth, travel to the underworld, with the help of Ares, the god of war, but there realize that Hades is not behind the theft. It turns out that his weapon, the Helm of Darkness, was stolen as well. It is discovered that the bolt is in the backpack of Percy, which was given to him by Ares. Percy, Annabeth, and Grover escape, and travel to the world above. Confronting Ares, Percy retrieves the Helm of Darkness and has it returned to Hades. They then travel to Mt. Olympus to return Zeus's bolt. They get there in the nick of time, and the war is avoided. Hades also returned Percy's mother to him, since he returned his Helm of Darkness. However, Luke turns out to be the Lightning Thief, and has betrayed the gods in order to help raise Kronos, the lord of the Titans and father of the gods. The story ends with Percy and Annabeth discussing what will happen until next summer, when they will return to Camp Half-Blood in order to fight Luke.

In the book, Percy learns that he is the son of Poseidon, the Sea God. When Zeus's Master Lightening Bolt was stolen, Zeus blames Percy because Percy is the son of Poseidon and Zeus and Poseidon don't get along. Percy has to go find the lightening bolt so that Zeus and Poseidon don't start a war. He ends up going on a quest for the lightening bolt with Annabeth and Grover. In the end, he finds out that it was Kronos, the Titan, who had the lightening bolt stolen.
