Grover has also discovered two powerful half-bloods, whose parentage is unknown, but who may have something to do with the prophecy of the Titan’s curse.Īgainst the odds, Percy has survived long enough to enter his freshman year of high school. The gods are on the cusp of war with the Titans and the success or failure of Percy’s quest may influence whether war erupts or a fragile peace is maintained. In THE TITAN’S CURSE (Book 3), the goddess Artemis is missing, the return of an ancient monster is immanent and a deadline rapidly approaches-basically, just another week in the life of half-blood Percy Jackson and his friends Grover and Annabeth. The pages are again filled with characters from and references to Greek mythology. In order to save Camp Half-Blood Percy, along with Annabeth, must sail into the Sea of Monsters, and if that wasn’t enough, they must rescue Grover from certain death along the way. Percy is off on another quest, this time the goal is saving Camp Half-Blood, the only place where demi-gods are protected. One of the most interesting new characters is Percy’s new friend, Tyson, who isn’t quite who he says he is, nor is his relationship to Percy what it seems. Percy’s story and adventures continue in THE SEA OF MONSTERS, with both returning and new characters.


The book is punctuated with characters and legends from Greek mythology. His companions are Annabeth, a daughter of Athena, and his best friend Grover, who is revealed to be a satyr. Before he has time to acclimate to this life-changing information, he is sent on a quest to recover Zeus’ master bolt. Over the course of this novel, Percy learns that he is a demi-god, meaning that one of his parents, in this case his mother, is mortal and the other is a Greek god, in Percy’s case, Poseidon.

Percy has always had a tendency to get into trouble and is constantly stumbling upon unusual situations. THE LIGHTNING THIEF, the first in this five-book series, introduces us to 12-year-old Percy Jackson.
