The Lightning Thief was one of the first "big chapter books" I read back in elementary school. I remember LOVING it. Since 2021 I have been trying to reread my entire bookshelf and that includes rereading this children's book hahah. I learned very quickly that it just does NOT hold up like Harry Potter or The Hunger Games do. Would recommend it to children around the age of 12 hahah if you do NOT fit that criteria you would really do best to go and read something else. Unless you want to be disappointed, I would recommend having the memories of your first time reading shine bright by leaving it on the shelf. And I say that so respectfully.
