Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
When Percy Jackson receives an urgent distress call from his friend Grover, he immediately prepares for battle. He knows he’ll need his powerful demigod allies, Annabeth and Thalia, at his side; his trusty bronze sword, Riptide; and . . . a ride from his mom.
The demigods race to the rescue, to find that Grover has made an important
discovery: two new powerful half-bloods whose parentage is unknown. But that’s not all that awaits them. The Titan lord, Kronos, has set up his most devious trap yet, and the young heroes have just fallen prey. Hilarious and action-packed, this third adventure in the series finds Percy faced with his most dangerous challenge so far: the chilling prophecy of the Titan’s curse.

All book orders with Amazon are always received in great shape and in a timely manner. I prefer to order through Amazon then the local bookstores.

With 2 boys (ages 9 and 11), 3 big dogs, 2 geckos and a husband, there is usually a LOT of activity in my house. However, since my son discovered this series, things have gotten MUCH quieter! (If only I could teach my dogs to read!)
This series has captured my son's interest and imagination unlike any other fiction series with the exception of the Magic Treehouse books. He is an 11-year old and despite being considered AG in reading skills, he would rather eat liver than read novels. My son's fifth grade teacher got him interested in the very first book. After that, he had to have the whole set. He read all four books in about 1.5 weeks time -- usually reading over 100 pages a day -- even on school nights.
He thought this book was the best though the ending definitely leaves you hanging -- and waiting for Book 5.
The things that he likes best about the series:
1. Percy is a regular kid just like him who has his struggles in school.
2. He loves the Greek Mythology tie-ins
3. He loves the writing style and humour of the author
4. The stories don't take place in ancient times -- rather uses ancient stories in modern times.
Now my problem is what to get him reading next. He isn't interested in Harry Potter or most of the other popular fantasy collections. If any one has a suggestion on other series with the above characteristics, please let me know -- I would be eternally grateful!

and can't wait for the subsequent one.
This is the very first series he has ever really gotten into and enjoyed.
He flew through them and now is bummed because he has to wait for the next. He is 10 and in 5th grade.

This book is one in a series. I personally did not read the book, however, my son was not able to put the book down once he started reading.

I've read 1, 2 and now 3 and all are excellant. I can't wait to read the subsequent book.
