Rick Riordan’s The Lightning Thief has won the 2008 Young Adult Sequoyah Book Award. The votes, sent in by Oklahoma students in grades 6-8, were tallied in a Sequoyah Committee meeting on April 18th, and the results are now official.
I, for one, am psyched for Riordan’s victory. The Lighting Thief gives readers the perfect combination of humor, action and likable characters, with the added bonus of an awesome premise. If you haven’t read it yet (and you like mythology), you have to check it out!
