The SEA OF MONSTERS ended with a bang, with another child of the three gods emerging from the tree guarding

Camp

Half-Blood. Percy Jackson now has his hands full in THE TITAN’S CURSE, the third volume of the series.

When he answers an urgent call from his best friend, Grover, at a school in Maine, unexplainable things start

happening.

Grover has found two more half-bloods, who are siblings, but the assistant principal is a powerful monster

in disguise.

Grover will never get the half-bloods to camp without help. Percy, Annabeth, and Thalia set off for Maine

to help Grover,

but don’t realize that they’re walking into a trap.

Dr. Thorn, the assistant principal, has some tricks up his sleeve. When Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt, arrives, things

get out

of hand. Dr. Thorn falls off a cliff with Annabeth. Artemis goes after her and everyone else returns to Camp

Half-Blood.

Here, they try to act as normal as possible, but two campers

dreams indicate severe trouble with both

Artemis and

Annabeth.

The Oracle speaks and five campers must find and bring back Artemis before the Winter Solstice. For the first time,

Percy

remains behind, but not by choice, and not for long. When Percy meets up with the group, the enemies start

showing

themselves--and the race to reach Artemis and Annabeth alive becomes more crucial. Can Percy save both

them before the

Winter Solstice?

THE TITAN'S CURSE leaves the reader hanging, waiting for several important questions to be answered in the final

two

books of the series. This fast-paced novel, along with the action, makes it a great series for fantasy lovers,

reluctant readers,

and anyone looking for a good story.
