Are you going on a long trip this summer? Audiobooks are a great diversion when you’re stuck in a car for hours. The Lightning Thief: book 1 of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan might be a great choice for you and your kids, 8 and older on that next road trip.
Strange things are going on all around Percy Jackson. He’s a great kid, but he’s always in trouble at school. When he learns he is a demigod, the son of a mortal woman and Poseidon, god of the sea, his mother sends him to a summer camp for demigods where he and his new friends set out on a quest to prevent a war between the gods.
This is a fast-pace, suspenseful story that will make you wish the car trip were longer.
