One false step, and you’ll fall all the way to Tartarus—and believe me, unlike the Doors of Death, this would be a one-way trip, a very hard fall! I will not have you dying before...

Annabeth:My fatal flaw. That’s what the Sirens showed me. My fatal flaw is hubris. Percy: the brown stuff they spread on veggie sandwiches?Annabeth:No, Seaweed Brain. That’s HUMMUS. hubris is worse.Percy: what could be worse than...

So,” Annabeth said, “are you going to argue about me coming along?””Nah. You’d just beat me up.” Percy said.She managed a laugh, which was good to hear

What-what do you want?” Annabeth asked, trying to maintain a tone of confidence.The voice cackled maliciously.’To curse you, of course! To destroy you thousand times in the name of Mother Night!'”Only a thousand times?” Percy...

I’ve been waiting a long time for a quest, seaweed brain,” she said. “Athena is no fan of Poseidon, but if you’re going to save the world, I’m the best person to keep you from...

Un minuto más tarde, Annabeth puso el pie sobre un trozo de musgo y resbaló. Por suerte, consiguió afirmar el pie un poco más abajo. Por desgracia, fue en mi cara.

Can you surf really well, then?”I looked at Grover, who was trying hard not to laugh.”Jeez, Nico,” I said. “I’ve never really tried.”He went on asking questions. Did I fight a lot with Thalia, since...

Remind me again-why do you hate me so much?”I don’t hate you.”Could’ve fooled me.”She folded her cap of invisibility. “Look…we’re just not supposed to get along, okay? Our parents are rivals.”Why?”She sighed. “How many reasons...

Don’t you ever feel like, what if the world really IS messed up? What if we COULD Do it all over again from scratch? No more war. Nobody homeless. No more summer reading homework.’m listening....

Jump in the harbor,” he said casually, like another kid might say, I’m going to get a snack.

Once she was gone, I knelt next to Annabeth and felt her forehead. She was still burning up.”You’re cute when you’re worried,” she muttered. “Your eyebrows get all scrunched together.””You are not going to die...

Do you have a pen?” she asked him.

I sat up in bed. “What did he say?”Tyson groaned, still half asleep. He was lying facedown on the couch, his feet so far over the edge they were in the bathroom. “The happy man...

The rivalry ends here,” [Percy] said. “I love you, Wise Girl.

Athena stood in the middle of the road with her arms crossed and a look on her face that made me think Uh-oh. She’d changed out of her armor, into jeans and a white blouse,...

Just trying to keep things light.

Rachel: You’re a half-blood, too?Annabeth: Shhh! Just announce it to the world, how about?Rachel: Okay. Hey, everybody! These two aren’t human! They’re half Greek god!…They don’t seem to care.

Hey, can I see that sword you were using?”I showed him Riptide, and explained how it turned from a pen into a sword just by uncapping it.”Cool! Does it ever run out of ink?””Um, well,...

You saved the world,” annabeth said.”We saved the world.””And Rachel is the new Oracle, which means she won’t be dating anybody.””You don’t sound disappointed,” I noticed.Annabeth shrugged. “Oh, I don’t care.””Uh-huh.”She raised an eyebrow. “You...

That makes absolutely no sense.

Swords can’t solve every problem.

So I took her hand, and I don’t know what everybody else heard, but to me it sounded like a slow dance: a little sad, but maybe a little hopeful, too.

What if it lines up like it did in the Trojan War … Athena versus Poseidon?””I don’t know. But I just know that I’ll be fighting next to you.””Why?””Because you’re my friend, Seaweed Brain. Any...

We need to hurry.

I’m calm,” Rachel insisted. “Every time I’m around you, some monsters attack us. What’s to be nervous about?””Look,” I said. “I’m sorry about the band room. I hope they didn’t kick you our or anything.””Nah....

Argh!” Thalia pushed me, and a shock went through my body that blew me backward ten feet into the water. Some of the campers gasped. A couple of the Hunters stifled laughs.”Sorry!” Thalia said, turning...

Right before the game, she strolled up to me. “Hey, Seaweed Brain.””Will you stop calling me that?”She knows I hate that name, mostly because I never have a good comeback. She’s the daughter of Athena,...

Percy?” Annabeth gripped his arm.”Oh, bad,” he muttered. “Bad. Bad.” He looked across the table at Frank and Hazel. “You guys remember Polybotes?””The giant who invaded Camp Jupiter,” Hazel said. “The anti-Poseidon you whacked in...

I can input star charts and order you a smoothie, if you want. Of course I can do latitude and longitude!

Annabeth frowned. “That doesn’t make sense. But why were you visiting –” Her eyes widened. “Hermes said you bear the curse of Achilles. Hestia said the same thing. Did you . . . did you...

You’re cute when you’re worried, your eyebrows get all scrunched together.

You are okay?” he asked. “Not eaten by monsters?””Not even a little bit.” I showed him that I still had both arms and both legs, and Tyson clapped happily.”Yay!” he said. “Now we can eat...

Annabeth realized that if six of them went on these two quests, it would leave Percy alone on the ship with Coach Hedge, which was maybe not a situation a caring girlfriend should put him...

Doubtful, but it did work…”Annabeth?” Percy said again. “You’re planning something. You’ve got that I’m-planning-something look.””I don’t have an I’m-planning-something look.””Yeah, you totally do. Your eyebrows knit and your lips press together and —“”Do you...

Hoover Dam,” Thalia said. “It’s huge.”We stood at the river’s edge, looking up at a curve of concrete that loomed between the cliffs. People were walking along the top of the dam. They were so...

Laistry….I can’t even say that. What would you call them in English?””Canadians.

Come on.

Dude, that sucks for you.

She looked at me, like she was drinking in the fact that I was still here. And I realized I was doing the same thing. The world was collapsing, and the only thing that really...

The crew gathered for a hurried meeting on the foredeck – mostly because Percy was keeping an eye on a giant red sea serpent swimming off the port side. ‘That thing is really red,’ Percy...

I had a fair idea how it felt to get spanked with a large flat surface, and my rump clenched in sympathy.

He gave me the brochure. It was about the Hunters of Artemis. The front read, A WISE CHOICE FOR YOUR FUTURE! Inside were pictures of young maidens doing hunter stuff, chasing monsters, shooting bows. There...

[Percy] kept hoping things would get better for Annabeth and him, but their lives just got more dangerous, as if the Three Fates were up there spinning their futures with barbed wire instead of thread...

Because I’m not kissing you until you do. And brush your hair while you’re at it.

The cord, a familiar voice said. Remember your lifeline, dummy!Suddenly there was a tug in my lower back. The current pulled at me, but it wasn’t carrying me away anymore. I imagined the string in...

My faithful companion, Zoe Nightshade, has passed into the stars. I must have a new lieutenant. And I intend to choose one. But first, Father Zeus, I must speak to you privately.”Zeus beckoned Artemis forward....

Because I’m looking at it.

Twins snuff out the angel’s breath, Who holds the key to endless death. Giants’ bane stands gold and pale, Won with pain from a woven jail.

You stood up to the dragon so Beckendorf would have his chance to jump – now that was brave.””Or pretty stupid.””Percy, you’re a brave guy,” she said. “Just take the compliment. I swear, is it...

Annabeth wanted to sob. She wanted someone, anyone to be here for her. She wanted Leo with his fire skills, or Jason with his lightning, or Hazel to collapse the tunnel. Most of all she...
