This is a great graphic novel adaptation of The Lightning Thief. I read the first two books in the Percy Jackson series a couple of years ago, so I wanted to read the graphic novels to refresh myself before I continue with the rest of the series.
This graphic novel is a great way for kids to read the stories. I studied Greek mythology in university, so I was already familiar with the characters before I read The Lightning Thief. It could be confusing for kids who are just being introduced to these characters, because they have detailed histories that were created thousands of years ago. Being able to see the story take place in the images could make the story easier for reluctant readers to understand.
The illustrations and art of Jose Villarrubia and Attila Fuaki are the icing of the cake for me. While dark, they are not depression or dreary. They are detailed, odd colors bringing the myth alive. It is sophisticated and has an almost cartoon quality to them. Everything has a classic graphic novel feeling.
The book bunnies have all read several books by Rick Riordan, and Marshmallow has reviewed many of them. This week Caramel wanted to review a graphic novel version of the first book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series: The Lightning Thief, adapted by Robert Venditti, with Attila Futaki, Jose Villarrubia, Orpheus Collar, and Chris Dickey. As usual, Sprinkles is asking questions and taking notes.
S: So I understand that if you liked the Percy Jackson books, you might also like to check out the graphic novel version. But let us assume you have not seen the movie or read any of the other Percy Jackson books. Would this still be an interesting story?

During a school field trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Percy is attacked by his math teacher, Mrs. Dodds, who turns into a fury from the Underworld, but when Percy questions another teacher about the event, Mr. Brunner insists that there is no Mrs. Dodds. With the school year over, Percy goes home to see his mother, Sally, who announces they are taking a trip to the beach. As Percy and Sally discuss Percy's father at the cabin, Grover, Percy's best friend who is revealed to be a satyr, arrives to warn them of approaching danger, so Sally urges the boys to her car so they can flee; however, on the drive, Sally's car flips, and as they walk through the words, she is attacked by a Minotaur and disappears. Enraged, Percy rips a horn from the beast before passing out.
Percy wakes at Camp Half-Blood where Mr. Brunner reveals that he is actually a centaur named Chiron. Furthermore, this camp is for the children of the Greek gods who exist and are bound to Western Civilization. Percy is placed in Cabin 11 where all those whose lineage is undetermined are placed, and here, he befriends Luke. During a game of Capture the Flag, Clarisse, the daughter of Ares, attacks Percy near the creek, but when he falls into the water, he manages to defeat her and his injuries are healed, thus indicating he is the son of Poseidon. Chiron explains that this is dangerous since Poseidon, Zeus and Hades took an oath to refrain from siring any more half-bloods because their powerful children affect the human world too much. Additionally, Zeus's Master Bolt, the symbol of his power, has been stolen, and Zeus suspects Percy of being the thief, thus Percy is sent on a quest to find the Master Bolt which Chiron believes was stolen by Hades. Percy has only ten days to retrieve the bolt, else war will be declared on the summer solstice.
Before Percy leaves on his quest with Grover and Annabeth, Luke presents him with flying shoes from Hermes, suggesting they may be useful during his quest. The trio are confronted by furies in New York City, and Percy is attacked by Echidna in St. Louis where he also receives three pearls from Nereid on Poseidon's behalf, to use if he is in danger. Ares offers guidance and assistance at a diner and tells Percy that his mother is alive. When Percy, Annabeth and Grover finally arrive at D.O.A. Recording Studios in Los Angeles, they convince Charon to escort them to the Underworld.
