I first heard of The Lightning Thief from a friend who had been a Classics major in college, and who sought out works of fiction based on the Greek myths. My friend is also an unrepentant YA reader, and has convinced me that YAs are not all just for a younger audience. This is an engaging and entertaining series about young Percy (short for Perseus) Jackson, a half-blood with one parent a Greek god and another parent a human. Like popcorn, reading this goes down very easy. 4 stars.
