The Lightning Thief

1. The author is Rick Riordan and he was born in June 5, 1964.Riordan had taught Greek myths at the middle school level for many years..Rick Riordan helped create the entire 39 Clues series also he is already an award winning author of mysteries for adults.Rick making Percy ADHD and dyslexic was his way of honoring the potential of all the kids he knew who has those conditions.

2. Percy Jackson-The story is told from his point of view and hes a dynamic character over time time he becomes smarter and wiser on his journey to retrieve and deliver the lightning bolt to Mount Olympus. He is stubborn and shares the same characteristics as his father Poseidon(always putting others before himself is his fatal flaw,black hair,sea coloured eyes, thinks Annabeth can be a pain

Annabeth Chase-Percy's friend she is the same throughout the book and she tends to be like her mother Athena goddess of battle and wisdom.(smart,know it all, Rivals with Percy because Athena and Poseidon are rivals and don't like each other, likes architecture,blond hair,grey eyes,scared of spiders because of  Arachnids story,Annebeth's fatal flaw is her pride.)

Grover Underwood-A satyr that is Percy's friend and keeper from the beginning of the story. Grover wants a searchers license so he can start his dream job witch is to search for Pan the god of the wilderness.Since he went missing about 2 thousand years ago. I believe that later in the book Grover slowly gets more courageous(like with Medusa and in Hades palace).He tend to be nervous and loves to a lot (except meat.) He hates underground places and is always in the middle of things. Hes very kind and always breaks up the fights of Percy and Annebeth(but it usually doesn't work.)

3. The setting of "The Lightning Thief" takes place in modern times but with some Greek mythology in the background. (The Underworld, Mount Olympus) I believe the theme of this book would definitely be an adventure story.

4. When Percy Jackson is down in the underworld confronting Hades of stealing Zeus's lighting bolt, but then Hades tells Percy he is the one who has the lighting bolt.Percy then checks his backpack and there is the lightning bolt of Zeus. That's when the climax begins when Percy realizes that he has been tricked. Ares the god of war set him up but the main culprit is Kronus who is trying to resurrect him self because Zeus cut him up into a million pieces and Hades accuses Percy of taking his helm of darkness. Basically from this main event is where most of the climax begins.

5.I would like to read more books by this author because his books have Greek mythology and i adore Greek mythology. I also like his books because i can understand easily what is happening in the story and painting a picture is no problem. I personally like Rick's view on Greek mythology and how he made into an excellent story for kids.
