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 warns him of
betrayal by a friend; and unravel a treachery more powerful than the
gods themselves.
This deluxe gift edition of the internationally
best-selling first book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series,
lavishly illustrated by series artist John Rocco, is a must-have for
Riordan fans.
I just had to get the illustrated edition! It's so awesome! I will leave
some pics below and I took them last night so they are not great shots.
=)
There
are A LOT more pictures as you can guess. Like I said, sorry about the
darkish pics. I was taking them while laying in bed last night. Lol
Happy Reading!

First Reading
I am FINALLY getting around to reading this series.
I thought the movies were okay, I do wish they would remake them and make them better, like the books =)
Poor Percy.
Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood.
If
you're reading this because you think you might be one, my advice is:
close the book right now. Believe whatever lie your mom or dad told you
about your birth, and try to lead a normal life.
Being a half-blood is dangerous. It's scary. Most of the time, it gets you killed in painful, nasty ways.
If
you're a normal kid, reading this because you think it's fiction,
great. Read on. I envy you for being able to believe that none of this
ever happened.
But if you recognize yourself in these pages-if
you feel something stirring inside-top reading immediately. You might be
one of us. And once you know that, it's only a matter of time before
they sense it too, and they'll come for you.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
My name is Percy Jackson.
Most
people already know the story of Percy Jackson and how he found out he
was a half-blood. How he ended up in a half-blood camp (almost didn't)
How he beat a Minotaur and later on, many things.
I thought it was a fun read and I loved all of the different mythical creatures! That was so wicked cool!
Percy
makes some good friends in the camp and they go with him to do a quest.
He has been blamed for stealing something from Zeus, which he did not,
so they have to set out to find who really did it. Other wise there is
going to be some knock down drag out with Zeus and Percy's father
(Poseidon) and others of course.
So they set out on this quest.
They
have to go have a little chat with Hades <-- fun times. They get
attacked by many creatures of all shapes and sizes. They also get help
from certain creatures and a pink poodle named Gladiola who ran away
from home and doesn't want to go back but does so the kids can have some
reward money. Wasn't that sweet!
↑ Can you blame little Gladiola? I mean I love the color pink, but NO, JUST NO!
Anyhoo,
I did want to smack the group a few times because of stupid things, but
who doesn't do those from time to time. *raises hand* I loved when they
saved the animals in the old truck they were riding in, Grover is
awesome!
I look forward to reading ALL of the other 50 billion books in this ongoing Rick Riordan world! ♥
Happy Reading!
Mel ♥
