Amanda Zieba Learning with the Word Nerd | Read Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief with Me || Ch 1 @AmandaZiebatheWordNerd | Uploaded July 2023 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Friday, June 30, 2023 - Each week, the word nerd, Amanda Zieba, reads aloud the first chapter of an amazing middle grade or YA book on this channel! This week she’ll be sharing chapter one from the New York Times bestselling series: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. If you are looking for an adventure packed series, you are in luck! Mythology fan? She’s got you covered for that too! This book has also been made into a graphic novel version and a movie! But the goodness doesn’t stop there! Throughout this video there’s a mystery quote sprinkled one word at a time. As you listen, write it down and then stay to the end to see if you’ve got it down correctly.
Book Blurb: Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school . . . again. And that's the least of his troubles. Lately, mythological monsters and the gods of Mount Olympus seem to be walking straight out of the pages of Percy's Greek mythology textbook and into his life. And worse, he's angered a few of them. Zeus's master lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect. Now Percy and his friends have just ten days to find and return Zeus's stolen property and bring peace to a warring Mount Olympus. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the true thief: he must come to terms with the father who abandoned him; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves. This deluxe edition of the internationally best-selling first book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, lavishly illustrated by series artist John Rocco, is a must-have for Riordan fans.
