The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

I think it was very adventurous because Percy went through so many fights with monsters just to do a favor his uncle, Zeus. I also think it is cool because he has the power of healing one of his wounds in the water& because his father is Poseidon, the god of the sea.
~Sarah Tyndall, age 10
