By Rick RiordanPublished by Miramax Books (2005)
When I step into my fourth grade classroom, I can easily spot several students reading Rick Riordan books. Both girls and boys really enjoy the fantasy adventure books that he writes. I myself recall reading The Lightning Thief when I was their age. Percy Jackson, a twelve-year old boy, goes on an adventure with greek gods to catch the thief of Zeus' master bolt. He is faced with many enemies on his journey. He also must deal with an Oracle of betrayal and a father he doesn't know.
If you are teaching grades 3 through 5, this a must have book in your classroom library as it appeals to many. It's also great because it is part of series. This provides many books for lung readers to dive into. Rick Riordan's website has excellent resources to take advantage of when using this in the classroom.
I also found some great resources on Pinterest to utilize!
