The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan

          Greek gods and goddesses. Mythical creatures and horrific monsters. Prohpecies and ancient weapons. These are just some of the words that capture the overall feel of Rick Riordan's The Titan's Curse. Rick Riordan, a New York Times bestseller, really keeps the reader on the edge of their seat in this epic 3rd book of the 5-Part Percy Jackson seller.
          Percy is a young boy just longing to find his place in this world. He was always an outsider. He didn't quite fit in. He himself does not even know who he really is. He has always had dyslexia, he could for some reason read Greek, he had ADHD from a very young age. However, all of these traits prove to be worth something when Percy finds out he is a demigod and son of the Great God of Sea, Poseidon. His dyslexia was a result of his eagerness to read Greek instead of modern languages. And his ADHD was a result of his eagernes to do hand in hand combat. These were all characteristics that of a demigod.
          After several years, Percy has settled in to Camp Half-Blood. He has made many new friends(his bestfriend being Annabeth) and has also slain many creatures and succeeded in several quests. However, when Annabeth is held prisoner as well as the Hunter Goddess, Artemis, the prophecy forbids Percy from going on the quest. What will Percy do? Will the prophecy hold true? Find out in The Titan's Curse.
          Rick Riordan--Rick Riordan is the #1 New York Times Bestseller. He has a collection of award books and series that include: Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the Kane Chronicles, and Heroes of Olympus. He taught English and history at public and middle schools. During this time he recieved the prestigous Master Teacher Award.
