Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief Novel Study
Class experience

He has been blamed for the stealing of Zeus' lightning bolt and must find the true thief in order to save the world as he knows it.

Not only are they able to discuss and analyze the story details, but they can take part in extension activities that help them to connect to the text and spend even more time with the characters they've come to know and love.
