They must find Artemis before the winter solstice, when her influence on the Olympian Council could swing an important vote on the war with the titans.

Rick Riordan on Summer Reading

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble

This terrific YA series by mystery writer Rick Riordan revamps Greek mythology in a fun, fresh way kids find absolutely enthralling. Percy Jackson is a trouble-prone teenager with attention deficit disorder and dyslexia. He's also the half-blood son of Poseidon (yes, that Poseidon!), one of 12 Olympian gods making mischief right here in 21st-century America. Riordan ratchets up the action in this third rip-roaring installment, as Percy and his demigod pals set out to find the vanished goddess Artemis -- and to foil a treacherous plot cooked up by the titan lord Kronos. Fast-paced, funny, and filled with super-cool fantasy elements perfectly suited to 'tween sensibilities, this new adventure is an irresistible treat for the 9-12 set.

Children's Literature

AGERANGE: Ages 9 to 14.

The action begins right away as the demigods Percy, Annabeth, and Thalia arrive at Westover Hall in Maine to rescue two half-bloods whose parentage is unknown. Percy is fourteen-years-old and identifies himself as an impulsive ADHD kid. He is the son of Poseidon and a mortal mother. The half-blood kids attend Camp Half Blood, which is run by Chiron the centaur. They look human but have these special powers because of their parentage. The half-bloods are out to save the world from destruction by the monsters. In their quest, they fight a manticore and are assisted by Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt, and her eternal maidens. The fight against the monsters takes them across New England to Washington, DC, and across the country to Arizona and California. This fast-paced story is full of adventure and humor. Readers will relate to good natured Percy, the protagonist. He is trying to fit in with his peers, please his parents, and save the world. The book brings Greek mythology to life in a kid-friendly way. This third book in the author's series, "Percy Jackson & The Olympians," follows bestsellers The Lightning Thief and The Sea of Monsters. Reviewer: Jeanne K. Pettenati, J.D.

Percy Jackson is loyal, humble, and defends his friends. What's not to like? It seems, however, that the evil Dr. Thorn wants Percy, the son of Poseidon, dead. Percy, Thalia (daughter of Zeus), and Annabeth are summoned by Grover to creepy Westover Hall where the satyr has located two new half-bloods. It is a setup. Dr. Thorn mocks the heroes and then boldly kidnaps Annabeth. The despicable act launches Percy and company on a cross-country rescue mission, allowing the author to work in classic myths, gods, and creatures. Action comes fast and furious here and only lets up when the characters pause to plan their next move. Several persons are repeated from the previous books, such as the wine-soaked Dionysus and Chiron, Camp Half-Blood's activity director. Key new arrivals are Artemis and her unit of hardened archers. These tough girls do not play around and conduct themselves as a deadly special-forces platoon-and it is a good thing, too. Artemis's warriors protect Percy's crew from a death squad of deranged skeletal soldiers as they zoom across the American West to save Annabeth. The screenplay-like story line and almost over-the-top action might alienate literary purists, but this reviewer is betting that teens will be thrilled by the wicked pace. Especially gripping is a brawl through the gods' junkyard with seventy-foot-tall Talos, a scene hinting of a manga title's mecha battle. Mixing humor with fantasy and rousing swordplay, this installment in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series is a hero's epic quest reminiscent of cyberpunk science fiction or addictive videogames. Librarians should lock and load for requests.

School Library Journal

Gr 6-9 -In this third installment (Miramax, 2007) to the "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" series, Rick Riordan continues the saga of the Greek gods and their half-human offspring. The story takes place in modern-day America where Percy, son of Poseidon, faces off with mythical monsters and other enemies of the gods. Accompanying him are his friends, Grover the satyr, Thalia, daughter of Zeus, and two Hunters. They set off to find the missing Artemis, goddess of the hunt, who has been kidnapped by Titan Kronos's cronies, and Annabeth, daughter of Athena, who has disappeared over the edge of a cliff. To make matters worse, the Oracle predicts that one of them will not survive the quest. Actor Jesse Bernstein does a first-rate job of narrating the story, seamlessly shifting between the voices of the various characters and rendering each of them a unique persona. A great addition to most junior high/middle school and public library audio collections.-Kathy Miller, Baldwin Junior High, Baldwin City, KS

Kirkus Reviews

The stirring of monsters has begun. Monsters not seen for thousands of years threaten to unleash death and destruction on an unprecedented scale and destroy Olympus, and it's up to Percy Jackson and his friends Grover, Annabeth and Thalia to stop them, though Percy is embarrassed to have to depend on his mother to drive him to his battles. Percy, Annabeth and Thalia are demigods, Grover is a satyr and their quest is to find the missing Artemis and the monster she was hunting. This third in the Olympians series makes the Greek myths come alive in a way no dreary classroom unit can. Apollo driving his Maserati Spyder sun chariot, attacks by skeletal zombie soldiers, dragons and a 20-foot-tall metal warrior and the contests between the gods will have readers wondering how literature can be this fun. This can stand alone, though newcomers to the series will race back to the first two volumes and eagerly await a fourth installment. (Fiction. 10+)

Rick Riordan

Rick Riordan is best known for his bestselling YA series Percy Jackson and the Olympians and for a series of award-winning adult mysteries featuring San Antonio P.I. Tres Navarre.

Biography

Percy Jackson and the Olympians is a terrific YA series by former middle school teacher and mystery writer Rick Riordan that revamps Greek mythology in a fun, fresh way kids find enthralling. A trouble-prone teen with attention deficit disorder and dyslexia, Percy is the half-blood son of Poseidon, one of 12 Olympian gods making mischief right here in 21st-century America. Praised by critics, librarians, and teachers, the Percy Jackson books have been honored with numerous awards and appear consistently on The New York Times bestseller list.

The series grew out of a sequence of bedtime stories Riordan invented for his son Haley -- who, at eight, had just been diagnosed with learning disabilities. Although Haley was having trouble in school, he loved the Greek myths and asked his dad to tell him some stories about the gods and heroes. Riordan ran through the standards from mythology, then began to invent new tales featuring some of the same characters and introducing a brave boy hero enough like Haley to make things interesting!

Haley begged his father to write the stories down, and in 2005, The Lightning Thief was published to excellent reviews. It was an instant hit with preteens, who loved the concept of a kid much like themselves -- i.e., embroiled in the everyday problems of school, family, and relationships -- embarking on heroic quests, soothing vengeful gods, and battling monsters.

In addition to Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Riordan also writes books for adults, most notably a series of high-octane Tex-Mex thrillers featuring private investigator Jackson "Tres" Navarre, a complicated loner with an offbeat pedigree. (Tres -- pronounced "Trace" -- is a tai chi master with a Ph.D. in medieval literature who turns to detective work when he is unable to find a teaching job!) The first novel in the series, 1997's Big Red Tequila, scooped the Anthony and Shamus Awards, two of the three most prestigious prizes for Mystery & Crime fiction. Riordan completed the trifecta when his sequel, The Widower's Two-Step, won the coveted Edgar Award in 1999.

Between the two series, Riordan remains incredibly busy. For several years, he balanced writing with teaching English to middle school students. Reluctantly, he has left teaching (a career he thoroughly enjoyed) in order to write full-time, but he still harbors hopes that someday he'll return to the classroom. Meanwhile, he makes frequent visits to schools and enjoys meeting young readers on his book tours.

Titans Curse

The Titans Curse
The book Titans Curse is well written. It tells every single detail in the characters point of view. The main character, Percy Jackson, is a very active but unlucky character. Some examples are when Percy and his friends were at the Hover Dam for sightseeing, the skeletons were at the Hover Dam. They were running away from them but were sought out by one of the skeletons. Percy hid in the engine room of the dam but then when he thought it was clear hear heard a clattering noise of a skeleton. That part was very descriptive. It told you why he was running and where he was running to. Another example is as follows from the book: "when we got to the school, I had a very bad feeling just because the school's appearance. When we went up right in front of the school, I already had a feeling something bad was going to happen. The doors opened by themselves. I thought it was so weird. Someone appeared at of nowhere. He greeted us by letting us come inside. It looked like some kind of military barracks. It had guns and medieval weapons like spears and javelins and stuff like that. It was a little scary how the person just popped out of nowhere and just opened the door, it almost felt like he was expecting us. Well he actually was very mean to us even when we didn't know him. We had no idea what he was talking about. He realized that we weren't part of this school. And he told us to get out. But Thailia snapped her fingers and made the mists affect kick in. She told him that we were students here. She snapped her fingers again and he lectured us to get back to the dance or he would kick us out for sure. We didn't argue. We found the gym and the person that was right next to the door was my friend Grover. He had his Rasta cap on to hide his horns; he wore long jeans to block the view of the goat part of him. The reason why we were here is because Grover had sent a call that he had found 2 half bloods." This was just a quick part of the story. I recommend this book to everyone, because it is just a very fun book. This book is very adventurous and descriptive as seen from the previous example. The characters in the story explored some of the states of America which is very familiar to the age group reading this book. The settings are in famous places and cities and historical places. It does teach a little about Greek Mythology which is very interesting due to their mystery. The book is somewhat humorous because the characters make fun of the Gods and Titans. It is also very climatic. The characters find the people they are looking for to rescue (Artemis and Annebeth) as well as their arch enemy, Luke. Luke is the one that captured Artemis and Annebeth. Characters of this book journey on the adventures to free Artemis and Annebeth. This book is recommended for people who are older than 10 years old due to many words of Mythology that are hard to understand; however, it is great for people who are curious. So start reading the Titans Curse today!

A Hilarious Adventure with a Greek Mythological Twist

Percy and his friends Thalia and Annabeth go to a military school to get two half bloods but get attacked by a manticore, which falls off a cliff with Annabeth. The hunters come to camp half-blood, and Thalia, Zoë, Bianca, Grover, and Percy go on a quest to aid Artemis and to save Annabeth. On their way they meet many challenges in the Nemian lion, Talos, and zombies that were grown from the grown like a plant. Percy also gets an unexpected visit from the goddess of love Aphrodite. There were a lot of things about this book that I absolutely loved that made this book great. The book was written in first person through the eyes and thoughts of Percy. This was great because it kept you reading to find out what else was going on besides what was happening with Percy. The book also stayed at a steady pace and it was packed with excitement. The book also follows a great storyline that flows from chapter to chapter. This book is apart of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series and you must read the first two books to understand it. It also helps to have some background knowledge on Greek Mythology. If you are a fantasy lover then you will love this series from beginning to end.

The Titans Curse

The Titan's Curse
Rick Riordan
Hyperion Paperbacks
Fantasy

¿Your fatal flaw is personal loyalty, Percy.¿ These words were spoken to Percy by Athena Goddess of War because she believed Percy was a great danger to the Gods. Have you ever imagined living in a real world that is full of powers and have the knowledge the ancient Greek Gods are still alive? It's hard to think that one could have these powers. In this book, The Titan's Curse By Rick Roirdon, Percy must face his biggest challenge, he has to save his friends and the Gods, plus he has the duty of keeping the strange sea cow safe from the evil doers. When it comes time for the prophecy to be fulfilled, will Percy be able to face it or will he turn his back to it?

As mentioned in the beginning the main character is a boy named Percy. He's courageous and heart felt. He is a little shy and not sure of himself but he will do anything it takes to save his dear friend Annabeth when she is captured by the General, but when all plans go wrong, Percy will have to stay strong. Thalia, daughter of Zeus, was once preserved as a tree by her father so she wouldn't die when she tried to save her friends, nows she's back to help and prove to her father that his daughter is strong and is worth being here, she may be a little bossy but she does know what she's doing.
Zoe, daughter of the General (evil doer), even after she knew that the prophecy would probably destroy her on this quest still went to save Artemis, she is a proud leader. She was once tricked by Hercules and held a grudge against all male heros but she can't deny that Percy is not like other heros. This quest will lead them to discover new people and new truths. Heros will change and become recognized. For them the journey has just begun.

This action packed book will leave you wanting more. With every page turned you won't be able to put it down. I truly loved it, there's moments of suspense along with of true heart warming events. Rick Roirdon did a excellent job in the third book of Percy's adventures. Percy's story was well told with little bits of amusement in the most horrific times. The Titan's Curse is a book that people of all ages will love, its great adventures will never end.

Lost and Found!

Percy Jackson is now 14, and finds himself (yet again) fighting monsters and getting himself into trouble. Luke is still building an army, and the titans are growing more powerful. As the titans grow in power, the worst beasts of mythology are resurfacing, joining the titan cause. Annabeth and the goddess Artemis have gone missing, and it's up to a team of 5 young heroes and Hunters to find them. They trek across the country in their search, occasionally aided by a well-meaning god or goddess. Along the way, they encounter various foes that try to impede their progress and turn them to the titan's cause.

As I've said in my reviews of The Lightning Thief and Sea of Monsters, these books are an excellent adventure story! Percy once again finds himself traveling across the country, running into a variety of mythical beasts and new friends. Unlike the previous books, the beasties in Titan's Curse are bigger, meaner, and harder to defeat. The titans are continuing their efforts to rise again and defeat the gods, and old enemies continue in their efforts to destroy Percy and his friends.

This book does an excellent job of keeping the reader on their toes when trying to determine the motives of each character. Who will join which side? Who is truly good or truly evil? Who will stay on at Camp Half Blood, and who will go? Up to the last, you are surprised by actions of the characters and even encounter a couple of huge surprises that will definitely become major plot devices in the remaining books.

One thing I love about Rick Riordan's writing is that everything has a purpose. When you meet a character, or the character notices something in their surroundings, you know it plays a part. Sometimes that part is immediately obvious, but other times they come up again later and surprise you! Generally I would complain that this trait tends to make a book predictable, however that was not the case with The Titan's Curse. Up until the end, Riordan continued to drop plot twists that amazed me!

The one thing that continues to bother me about these books is how incredibly daft Percy seems to be! As mentioned in my review of Sea of Monsters, he refuses to learn anything about Greek mythology. He continues to find himself up against mythical beasts and wondering, "Who fought this before? How did they beat it?" If I suddenly learned I would be fighting the worst monsters in history, I'd go home and do my homework! And yet, another year passes with Percy never having any clue as to who the other characters are talking about or what sorts of monsters he's facing! It's no wonder Percy never goes on his quests alone, considering he'd be dead within a day on his own! Most of his success in battle can simply be attributed to miraculous amounts of luck- and not ingenuity or preparation.

Aside from Percy's short-sightedness, this book is yet another installment in an exciting and interesting tale that I believe anyone, young or old, would enjoy! Percy Jackson takes you on a modern adventure through ancient Greek myths and legends and gives new life to the stories. The reading is quick and easy, and I got through the book within a day. If you enjoy escaping into a good book for a few hours, check out Percy Jackson!

A must read book

The Titans Curse written by Rick Riordan is an overall good book. I think it is written for people ages 12 and up. Percy, son of Poseidon, Thalia, daughter of Zeus, Annabeth, daughter of Athena are alarmed by Grover, a satyr that there have been two more powerful half-bloods in Maine. They go there and encounter a monster and try to fight it but then Artemis, goddess of the hunt shows up and send it off a cliff along with Annabeth as well. The two kids, Bianca and Nikko DeAngelo are with them and Artemis convinces Bianca to join the hunt. Meanwhile, Artemis sets off to go kill this monster once and for all while Percy, Thalia, Grover, Nikko, and the rest of the hunters go back to camp half-blood. While they are there, Thalia, Grover, Zoe Nightshade (A hunter) and Bianca are sent on a quest to go get Annabeth and Artemis before Winter Solstice. Percy however doesn't get chosen to go but he decides to go anyway but secretly. Finally the meet up and continue on their journey. They happen to encounter the junkyard of the gods and Bianca fights yet another monster but she dies doing it. They continue their journey and they finally make it to Annabeth and Artemis. They are imprisoned by the titans general but they free them. Zoe Nightshade is the titan's general's daughter though and they fight each other but Zoe happens to die. They return Artemis to Mt. Olympus and don't encounter anymore problems. Overall the book was very good and I enjoyed it a lot just like the other books in the series. I would recommend this book and the others in the series to anybody ages 10 and up.

The Titan's Curse was a great book, filled with adventure, love, and surprises. I think that with all of the twists in this book, it might be my favorite. I also ove how Rick Riordan makes the book interesting with Greek mythology, but not dull. Rick has done it again!

Great Read!

The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan - Third installment in the Percy Jackson Trilogy.

Grover, Percy's long friend and a satyr, discovers two demigods, Bianca and Nico, and he needs Percy's help to take them safely to Camp Half Blood, the demigods safe heaven. They are attacked and they are saved by Artemis, the hunter goddess and her archers. They are immortal women who swear never to love men and are call the Hunters.

As they arrive safely to camp Bianca chooses to join the Hunters and takes the oath. Artemis leaves to punish the attackers. Artemis sends a distress call. Percy has bad dreams in which Artemis is chained and Annabeth, her best friend is being crushed.

The Oracle leaves her attic and makes a prediction in front of the camp:

Five shall go west to the goddess chains,
One shall be lost in the land without rain,
The bane of Olympus shows the trail,
Campers and Hunters combined prevail,
The Titan's curse must one withstand,
And one shall perish by a parents hand.

So Zoe, Artemis captain, Bianca, Thallia, Zeus daughter, Grover, and Percy set on a quest to save both Artemis and Annabeth. The Titan Lord Kronos has set up a trap and the future of Olympus lies in the quest of these five young heroes.

Although it is written for children, it is a fun read. Full of Greek mythology and sometimes hilarious. I recommend it for anyone who has a young heart.

An action packed thriller based on the greek gods in the current era!

If you're looking for a romantic love story with heart-quenching, tear-jerking, lovey-dovey moments.... then you're looking at the wrong book here. BUT, if you're looking for an action packed thriller based on the greek gods in modern times (duh, the headline), then you've come to the right place. Percy Jackson found out in previous books that he is teh half-blood son of Posiedon. When you're a half-blood in a world like ours, you are either targeted by mythical monsters, misunderstood by mortals, or completely neutral in the minds of the gods... Percy is only lucky enough to be teo of these things, since most of the gods want him either dead, or they just don't care. This time, Percy is in for a doosy of a ride when he is dodging monsters such as the Manticore, or the Nemean Lion. Not only that, but he must save a friend, and a god, and maybe even take the full force of the Titan's curse! If you're ready for the ride of your life, then hop on the back of Blackjack, the black pegasus, and hold on tight!

New Percy Jackson Book

In this third book to the series Percy Jackson and his friend have to rescue the goddess Artemis and defeat a Titan (not saying which one. The only thing I'm saying is that it isn't Kronos.) This book was funny, full of action and adventure, and great! If you love Greek mythology with a twist then you have to read this book.
