Percy Jackson is a rebel teenage outcast from New York. Wherever he goes, destruction follows close behind. Everyone may think all he does is cause is mayhem and a disturbance to the peace, but in reality all he is doing is uncovering the ugly truth of the gods. While he is trying to get Zeus’s bolt back by the winter solstice, he most protect the ones he love.
In the thrilling novel The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan, Percy must help save the world from another war between the Olympians. After being accused of stealing Zeus’s prize lightning bolt, he must travel to the depths of the underworld to uncover a not so happy surprise.
The fact that the gods think he has stolen the lightning bolt puts Percy, his friends and family in serious danger. The cause in this story is that the Zeus believes that Percy has taken his beloved lightning bolt. Unfortunately that causes problems for Percy because while he is trying to retrieve the bolt and return it to Zeus, he is also trying to fend off monsters and god like creatures.

Dear Mr. Bender
Hello, I am Mrs. Boller, Jenna’s mother. I understand on her trip to Texas with Mrs. Gladstone, Jenna has talked to you about her problems with her father and his drinking disorder. This note is just a thank you for all of the things you have done to help my little girl. When she returned home from Texas, all she could talk about was how Harry Bender was one of the greatest people she has ever met. She has become a very mature, adult like woman, and a great person.
The sales at the shoe store is booming now that Elden is not working there any longer. Fortunately Mrs. Gladstone has recently given Jenna a raise in pay, She is now the manager of Gladstone’s Shoe Store. Thank you so much for all of your help, because with Jenna’s bounce in pay. I can take off some time from work to spend some quality time with my two loving daughters. I don’t think we could have accomplished any of this without you. So without further ado, thank you so much. If you are ever in town, don’t hesitate to stop by and have some dinner.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Boller

quote!
"Just thinkin' about tomorrow clears away the cobwebs and sorrow…." this quote is a song from the movie Annie and is also mentioned in the book. This quote means a lot. The past is the past, we might as well forget it and move on because its only the beginning of a new day.

A Messy Christmas
Christmas break, an amazing time to spend mesmerizing moments with family. Unfortunately for me, while everyone was either on vacation or hanging out with friends I was stuck at home, babysitting two evil snotty children. Well I shouldn’t say both of them are snotty, its mostly the little boy, Carson… Carson is my little 4 year old cousin. The reason my eye twitches on occasion. But if I had to pick one word to describe him he is spoiled. Presents are under the tree. As far as the eye can see! Yea. Half of then had his name on them.
Back to the story! It was a cool morning when I was rudely thrown out of bed, to be told that everyone was leaving and I had to stay and watch the kids. There was plenty of stuff for them to do. But why they decided to do the most destructive messy craft in the house? It blows my mind. "ginger bread houses, and cookies!" they screamed. While I got the cookies ingredients ready I had them set out the candy and ginger bread houses. While we made the cookie dough Carson and Avery. Avery being my 2 year old misfit. Were putting the ingredients into the pot. Eggs, sugar, milk, and flour. So much flour. The kids thought it would be funny to use the flower as show! How fun. Flower on the floor! Flower on the couch! Flower on the dog! FLOUR EVERYWHERE!
After that messy craft, I sent the kids off for their afternoon nap. While they were sleeping I decided to head down stairs to watch some movies on my laptop. After about 2 hours I walk up stairs to see a not so great Christmas surprise. Piper, my dog had managed to climb on the counters to where our beautiful ginger bread houses and cookies were drying. And a sick, fat dog laying on the ground begging for more treats… well l maybe next Christmas the kids will be a little sincere
