About this ebook

The SECOND title in this number one, bestselling spin-off series from Percy Jackson creator, Rick Riordan.

This crazy messed up world of gods and monsters is Percy Jackson's reality, which pretty much sucks for him.

Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, God of the Sea, has woken from a very deep sleep and come face to face with two snake-haired ladies who refuse to die.

But they're the least of his problems. Because Percy finds himself at a camp for half-bloods, which doesn't ring any bells for him. There's just one name he remembers from his past. Annabeth.

Only one thing is certain - Percy's questing days aren't over. He and fellow demigods Frank and Hazel must face the most important quest of all: the Prophecy of Seven.If they fail, it's not just their camp at risk. Percy's old life, the gods, and the entire world might be destroyed . . .

Ratings and reviews

It was quite a good book I couldn't put it down, however at some parts it did get quite confusing. There are many mind blowing connections and references which felt really good. The book also has a lot of suspense and strings leading to many other things, incomplete connnections which are really speechless.The three things that suprised me most were the "invisible" island, Mars and Frank Zhangs relations and powers. Overall an amazing purchase and in my opinion a perfect mix of everything with a little bit of humor and a possible relative of Leo Valdez.

Rick Riordan, can do no wrong in my eyes. His a fantastic author, Heroes of Olympus is a carry on from his Percy Jackson series and I love them both. Full of humour, facts and action. Bring the Greek and Roman mythology to the modern world, these books are just as educational as they are funny. I love the new characters just as much as the old, it's a shame some of the loved old characters are missing, but who knows they may show up at some point :-)

In my class we all love the percy jackson books but we only had no 1 and 2 so I bought the book set them books were spectacular and made me populure so I thank Rick Rordan for the best book experiance
