Tyler's Weekly Book Review


This term Room 10 has been reading Percy Jackson and the Lightning thief by Rick Riodan. It's a great book, so here's what's been happening. In the first chapter "I Accidentally Vaporize My Maths Teacher" Percy tells how he's a troubled kid and how his best friend, Grover, can't play sports because he has a mucle disease. Anyway, they're on a school feild trip and Mrs Dodds, acrabby old maths teacher, asks Percy to accompany her to the storage room for a talk. Upon entering, Mrs Dodds turns into a hideous flying creature and attempts to kill Percy. Mr Brunner, a crippled teacher, suddenly comes in with a ballpoint pen and throws it to Percy. When he catches it, it turns into a sword and Percy destroys Mrs Dodds. She turns into an explosion of yellow dust, which quickly evaporates into nothing, showing no sign anything had happened. When he gets back outside everybody says Mrs Dodds doesn't exist. Is he going crazy? Keep reading and you'll find out!
