The Book Thief, written by an Australian author, Markus Zusak, is a devastatingly powerful historical-fiction novel that bears several re-readings. Being one of the greatest, most divinely-written epilogues in my school library, The Book Thief, is a soul-shattering, thought-provoking story that undoubtedly can be recommended to the young and old alike. This poignant, prolonged, but achingly sad book, is the pinnacle of contemporary historical-fiction, poised to become a classic. Phenomenally breathtaking, and inspiring, bringing nothing but anticipatory dread, this lyrical, surreal book, though depressingly morbid at times, was my “gateway” to historical-fiction. The tribulations and trials provided in the novel, had inevitable passion, perspective

Percy Jackson was sent on this quest to find Zeus missing lightning bolt, he had week to do it or he was turned into a dolphin. He was the son of Poseidon which wasn't a great thing because Poseidon wasn't supposed to have children. Chiron sent him on this quest but, the real reason Percy did it was to save his mother. When he was given this quest he got a prophecy which is which one or more messages are communicated by gods. His friend Annabeth and Grover went on the quest to help him.

At the beginning of the story, Percy's life perspective is pretty negative. Percy is a 12-year-old boy who has been expelled from every school he has attended in the past 6 years. Percy is dyslexic and has ADHD. A scene that best shows this is when he says, “I could start at any point in my short and miserable life to prove it.” When he begins telling his story, he's a bit grumpy, angry, or even depressed.

They live in a small apartment in Queens, NY, and Gabe enjoys making Percy's life and Percy's mom's life miserable.

Percy Jackson is selfless in many ways. He always puts himself in danger to help his loved ones out of danger while his friends ask him to leave them and finish the rest of the quest, but he stays and put himself in danger. Furthermore, on page 59 it says “Hey! I screamed, waving the jacket, running to one side of the monster. Hey, stupid! Ground beef!" this quote shows that Percy is trying to keep the attention on him so that his loved ones can get out. Instead of running away to the camp he stayed and helped his friend.

Soon percy will go on a quest with his friends Annabeth and Tyson to rescue Grover and get the Golden Fleece from the Sea of Monsters to save Camp Half-Blood from destruction.

The book, Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan is all about the children of Greek gods and goddesses and the monsters of Greek mythology. One of those characters in particular is Annabeth. She’s the daughter of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and warcraft. I think the author did a very good job of portraying what a child of Athena would be like because he gave Annabeth a lot of the same skills and characteristics as her mother.

“Where’s the glory in repeating what others have done?” The answer to this question from Rick Riordan’s New York Times Bestseller, The Lightning thief, is simple, There is no glory. Riordan did what others hadn’t done, mixed ancient mythology with modern day life. Rick Riordan has many inspirations for his books, and lots of people who helped him make his books the best sellers they are. So as you learn about Riordan's process of creating his magical stories, remember how a bedtime story became a bestseller.

In fact, he describes himself as a “troubled kid” with dyslexia and ADHD (Riordan 7). Percy is used to being the loner of the group, after attending six schools in the past six years which probably means he doesn’t make many friends. (Schmoop). His classmates do not have a need to scramble for money.
