The Shea book club started reading the book "The Lightning Thief" on Friday November 9th. By Friday, November 16th, everyone should have read the first five chapters. This book is one of the ten books nominated for the Grand Canyon Reader Award.
When 12-year-old Percy Jackson learns that his true father is Poseidon,
the Greek god of the sea, he undertakes a dangerous quest across the
United States to retrieve a stolen lightning bolt and stop a war between
the gods. The Lightning Thief provides a high-interest, humorous
introduction to the Greek myths. It encourages young readers to
explore elements of the classical hero’s quest rendered in a modern-
day setting, and to discuss such relevant issues as learning disabilities,
the nature of family, and themes of loyalty, friendship and faith.
