The Lightning Thief

by Rick Riordan
Category: fantasy
The book is about Percy Jackson going on a 10-day quest out of Camp Half Blood. He discovers his real father Poseidon. He leans about Greek Gods. If I tell you more it will ruin the book.
I loved the last chapter when Percy said "you" to Luke.

This book is about a vampire, Edward Cullen, and an out of place teenager, Bella Swan. The two kids fall in love and form an unbreakable relationship like no other.

It is about a girl who was born on Leap Day, so her Birthday is every four years. She is having her "fourth" birthday, but she’s really 16!!!!
