The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan (Series)

In The Lightning Thief you follow around Demigod son of Poseidon, Percy Jackson, as he goes through Camp Half-Blood, camp for Demigods like Percy. Along the way, his father is blamed for stealing Zeus' Lightning bolt, and decides to set out to find it, along with his Best Friends, Grover Underwood, a Satyr and Lord of the Wild, and Annabeth, the Demi-goddess daughter of Athena. He faces many challenges along the way, like meeting his Uncle's Zeus and Hades. This is a book for anyone who likes Mythology, like myself. I would defiantly recommend this for people who have yet to read it!

Divergent by Veronica Roth

You might have heard about this book, or have seen the movie. You might know the main character by heart. You may say your Dauntless, Erudite, Candor, Amity, or just Abnegation. That's right I'm talking about a bestseller called Divergent. Divergent is book that makes you want to cry, laugh, gasp, or just have you speechless. Maybe all these feelings at once. It's a wonderful and enchanting series that will have you begging for more. Thank goodness it's more than one book. Actually it's a series.

I recommend this book to specifically 3 types of people. I recommend this to Dauntless people, people who like action and gore and fun. I recommend this to Candor people, people who honestly just want a really good book. The last type of person I would recommend this to is Abnegation people, people who will give up the book when they are finished reading so they can give it to their friends! 

I think the book is WAY better than the movie because the book gives so much technicality and details. I think that this book is definitely a page turner and that you will fall in love with it. If you just try it I KNOW you will like it. So join in. Become Dauntless, Amity, Candor, Erudite, or Abnegation. You won’t regret reading the book.
