Percy Jackson and the Olymians : the Lightning Thief

Citation: Riordan, R. (2010).Percy jackson and the olymians : the lightning thief.  New York, NY: Hyperion Books
Category: Fantasy, Graphic Novel
Summary:  In this graphic novel, Percy Jackson is spun into a whirl wind of adventure as his school work comes to life.  He is faced against the gods of Mt. Olympus and now he is on a journey to find Zeus' lightning bolt, or else who knows what kind of trouble they will be in.
Classroom Use: I will use this book to start a unit on Mythology.  This is an interesting take on the typical mythological tales.  This is an interesting way to dive deeper into mythology.  After reading this, students will pick a god to investigate and share their findings and the stories about the various gods with the class.
