THE LIGHTNING THIEF AUDIO BOOK SERIES

I have learned that when it comes to text on the cover art design, to get rid of anything that isn’t absolutely necessary so you can emphasis those that are. The process of creating this audio book has taught me how much thought you have to give to designing something that can and will most likely be viewed off a small device. (Unless the computer counts as a third test because boy was I testing on that a lot) In Conclusion Unfortunately due to some oversight on my part I was unable to test my audio book on a third device that wasn’t iOS, android, or a computer. One of the first and biggest things I wanted to change was the cover, while I do find the Audible version of the book cover to look cool, I also find it to be very cluttered with too much going on for an audio book cover.

Therefore I figured that children would be much more likely to engage with this novel as an audio book. The reality of our time is that no matter how much we try to teach kids how important reading is, it’s doesn’t change that fact that more and more kids move away from a physical medium, such as books, to a digital medium, such as YouTube, Podcasts, etc. However, the main reason I chose this book is because of it’s target audience, children.

THE LIGHTNING THIEF AUDIO BOOK SERIES

It’s part of a series that, while it may still be going today, does seem less and less relevant over time and is, in a way, a product of it’s time. So when I was tasked to rework an existing audio book, my mind immediately jumped to The Lightning Thief. (I personally did like the first movie, but that second one…. The stories of Percy and his friends connected with so many kids around that world and I fully believe that if the movies had been better handled it would have been a massive franchise. Everyone I knew had read the books, in fact it’s the series that really got my little brother into reading. When I was a kid, the Percy Jackson series was on it’s way to becoming the next Harry Potter. 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 failure and betrayal by a friend and unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves.Audible’s Design: A lot of this text would be difficult to read on a mobile device Introduction On a daring road trip from their summer camp in New York to the gates of the Underworld in Los Angeles, Percy and his friends–one a satyr and the other the demigod daughter of Athena–will face a host of enemies determined to stop them. Now Percy has just ten days to find and return Zeus''s stolen property, and bring peace to a warring Mount Olympus.

And worse, he''s angered a few of them: Zeus''s master lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect. The gods of Mount Olympus, he''s coming to realize, are very much alive in the twenty-first century. Suddenly, mythical creatures seem to be walking straight out of the pages of Percy''s Greek mythology textbook and into his life. Until the Minotaur chases him to summer camp.

But can he really be expected to stand by and watch while a bully picks on his scrawny best friend? Or not defend himself against his pre-algebra teacher when she turns into a monster and tries to kill him? Of course, no one believes Percy about the monster incident he''s not even sure he believes himself. No matter how hard he tries, he can''t seem to stay out of trouble. Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school.
