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 camper's 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.

Love all the books by Rick Riordan. Saw the movie first, thought it was really good, then started reading the 2nd book after which was so good that I had to purchase the other 3 books in one go. I've never seen myself addicted to a book like this and honestly i don't like reading, but the percy jackson books are a great adventure, you definitely get your mind inside the book, I also love the fact that it has some funny bits here and there. Good writing style and very good story, what can I say more. By the way, I'm 28 and not a child anymore, but I love all the Percy Jackson books. Thought it's better than Harry Potter. I definitely recommend to buy it.

Gooo Percy Jacson!
I highly recomend this book to anyone who has the sligthes intrest in Greek mythology, and likes fantasy books. The apropriate age setting for these books says 10-15y but I recond its for all ages.
The story about Percy Jacson is thirilling and addictive.

I got this book for my son, as he loved the first book of this series (Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief). It's a great read for a 10 year old (he asked for more!). The best price as well, as I compared it with other bookshops.
Fresh air for the greek myths! May 1, 2010

This series of books from Rick Riordan is really brilliant. It brings the classic back to life with a fresh breath of wind. I am a school librarian and the children love this series and I also have seriously enjoyed such riveting reads.
