THE LIGHTNING THIEF: Rick Riordan: Miramax Publishing: Young Adult: 400 pgs.This was a great young adult fantasy. It is a very fast read told from the perspective of a disillusioned 6th grader who is used to getting into trouble, most of the time by accident. Turns out he has ADHD and is dyslexic, problems that have landed him in a series of schools for troubled youths. He soon discovers his demigod heritage (he's the son of Poseidon and a mortal woman) and that he is surrounded by trouble of the mythological kind. There are mythological creatures throughout this wonderful tale, and Percy is a very appealing if reluctant hero. This is definitely a must read for anyone who loved the Harry Potter series. The story continues in Sea of Monsters.
