Now I'm reading The Lightning Thief again...

For the movie trailer project, my group is doing the Lightning Theif and I have the job of rereading the book and tell them all the details. So don't expect anything on Philip Pullman's books because from now on, until I start Reading my next book, it will be Rick Riordan.

Here is What I have read so far...

Percy Jackson, the main character who has ADHD and dyslexia, is on a school field trip at the Metropolitian Mesuem of art in NYC. Everything goes wrong when he "pushes" this bully and is asked to come with an evil teacher called Mrs. Dodds. He follows her all the way to an empty hall where she transforms into a monster and tries to kill him. Percy's latin teacher Mr. brunner comes and hands him a sword which he uses to kill her. Later everyone claims that Mrs. Dodds doesn't exist. At the end of the school year, Percy ditches grover and goes home to his mom. They leave on a trip to a beach and in the middle of the night, Grover comes and warns them that there is something following him. The three of them hop in the car and drive towards Camp Half-Blood. In the car, Percy realizes that grover is a Satyr. The car rolls over into a ditch and the minotaur comes. The minotaur grabs Percy's mother and she vanishes. The angry Percy who believes that his mother is dead kills the Minotaur with its own horn. He then stumbles down the hill with an unconscious Grover and into the Camp. He is nursed back to help by Annabeth Chase who will become the third main character in the book. When Percy awakes, he is introduced to the fact that the Greek gods still exist and goes out to explore Camp Half Blood.
