The Lightning Thief: Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book One by Rick Riordan

This book is absolutely amazing. As a Greek, it really taught me things that people believed in back in the day. This book really highlights history, although none of it is true. It helps us understand the Greek myths but in a more fun and exciting way. I really like how Rick Riordan put the Greek myths down and really makes you think and wonder, "is this real?". I find this book utterly convincing because the main character, Percy Jackson, is just an ordinary boy. One of my favorite book series ever.
