Like the zodiac sign?’ Percy asked. ‘I’m a Leo.”No, stupid,’ Leo said, ‘I’m a Leo. You’re a Percy.

I’m the Super-sized McShizzle, man!” Leo said. “I’m Leo Valdez, bad boy supreme. And the ladies love a bad boy.

Oh, no, not the birds!

That is exactly how people beat Chinese handcuffs. They turn into iguanas.

Way to go, Zhang. Now you can order Octavian to fall on his sword.

Too bad Jason wasn’t a metal automaton. At least then Leo would have some idea of how to help his best friend. But with humans … Leo felt helpless. They broke way too easily.

Ah, Senor Zhang,” Leo said, “you know how you’re always saying, ‘Leo, you are the only true genius among demigods’?””I’m pretty sure I never said that.

Also … the plan sounded exactly like the sneaky, twisted, ridiculously annoying and noble sort of thing Leo Valdez would do.

I know, I’m an idiot!” Leo moaned. “A brilliant idiot, but still an idiot.

He hated being filled with terror. It was embarrassing.

All aboard for one last trip.

Leo, that’s Snow White,” Piper said.

This is Leo. I’m the… What’s my title? Am I like, admiral, or captain, or…””Repair boy.””Very funny, Piper.

If the statue engulfs people in fire, we should send Leo.’ ‘I love you too, man.’ ‘You know what I mean. You’re immune. Or, heck, give me some of those nice water grenades and I’ll...

Forget the chicken-nugget smoke screen. Percy wanted Leo to invent an anti-dream hat.

That makes absolutely no sense.

Narcissus is a loser! He’s so weak, he can’t bench-press a Kleenex. He’s so lame, when you look up lame on Wikipedia, it’s got a picture of Narcissus—only the picture’s so ugly, no one ever...

Leo couldn’t help smiling. “That could be fun.””Fun” she said unhappily.”Blue elephants.””Blue elephants.””Kiss me you fool.””You fool.

Leo smiled nervously. Maybe he and Percy did share something else – a stupid sense of humour. ‘Yeah, I bet that would totally be against her sponsorship deal. THOSE ARE NOT THE OFFICIAL SHOES OF...

The giant raised his fist, and a voice cut through the dream. “Leo!” Jason was shaking his shoulder. “Hey, man, why are you hugging Nike?” Leo’s eyes fluttered open. His arms were wrapped around the...

Come on.

[Piper] rushed to get dressed. By the time she got up on deck, the others had already gathered—all hastily dressed except for Coach Hedge, who had pulled the night watch. Frank’s Vancouver Winter Olympics shirt...

Leo lowered his screwdriver. He looked at the ceiling and shook his head like, What am I gonna do with this guy? “I try very hard to be annoying,” Leo said. “Don’t insult my ability...

He was making a brave attempt, but Jason could see the sadness lingering in his eyes. Something had happened to him… something to do with Calypso.

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

According to Festus, our flying table, Buford, made it back safely while we were in Charleston, so those eagles didn’t get him. Unfortunately, he lost the laundry bag with your pants.””Dang it!” Frank Barked, which...

It’s mechanical,” Leo said. “Maybe a doorway to the dwarfs’ secret lair?” “Ooooo!” shrieked a nearby voice. “Secret lair?” “I want a secret lair!” yelled another voice from above….”If we had a secret lair,” said...

Once the others were below, Hazel and Leo faced each other awkwardly. They were alone except for Coach Hedge, who was back on the quarterdeck singing the Pokémon theme song. The coach had changed the...

Like your zodiac sign? Percy asked. ‘I’m a Leo.’No, stupid,’ Leo said. I’m a Leo. You’re a Percy.

Commander Tool Belt” Jason said.”Bad Boy Supreme” Piper said.”Chef Leo the Tofu Taco Expert.”They laughed and told stories about Leo valdez, their best friend. They stayed on the roof until dawn rose, and Piper started...

You trained Bill? Impressive.

Oh, yeah?” Leo growled. “Well, maybe you got the smoke, buddy, but I’ve got the fire.

Stop!” Narcissus got to his feet. “This is not right! This person is obviously not awesome, so he must be…” He struggled for the right words. It had probably been a long time since he’d...

Anyway, I’m glad you found her. (Calypso) You promised to find a way back to her, and I just wanted to say that if we do survive all this, I’ll do anything to help you....

I mean, I can understand not being as pricey as Percy or Jason, maybe… but am I worth, like, two Franks, or three Franks?

Sure, they only had ten days to stop the giants from waking Gaia. Sure, he could die before dinnertime. But he loved being told that something was impossible. It was like someone handing him a...

You must forge your own path for it to mean anything.

Leo had seen Tia Callida in action; she liked knives, snakes and putting babies in roaring fires. Yeah, definitely let’s unleash her rage. Great idea.

Okay, do not call me Aquaman. That’s even worse than waterboy.

Why would you come to Italy to see Spanish steps? That’s like going to China for Mexican food, isn’t it?

Huh,” Leo said. “Well, if you ever get off this island and want a job, let me know. You’re not a total klutz.”She smirked. “A job, eh?” Making things in your forge?””Nah, we could start...

Correct.” Kekrops sounded bitter, like he regretted his decision. “My people were the original Athenians–the gemini.””Like your zodiac sign?” Percy asked. “I’m a Leo.””No, stupid,” Leo said. “I’m a Leo. You’re a Percy.

Yours in demigodishness, and all that. Peace out!

Like your zodiac sign?’ Percy asked. ‘I’m a Leo.”No, stupid,’ Leo said. ‘I’m a Leo. You’re a Percy.

Who’s possessing who now, Casper?

She held up her calloused, grimy fingers. Leo couldn’t help thinking there was nothing hotter than a girl who didn’t mind getting her hands dirty. But of course, that was just a general comment. Didn’t...

I still don’t understand what a sea god would be doing in Atlanta.”Leo snorted. “What’s a wine god doing in Kansas? Gods are weird.

We’ve all got weaknesses. Me, for instance. I’m tragically funny and good-looking.

Dude.” Jason gave Percy a bear hug.”Back from Tartarus!” Leo whooped. “That’s my peeps!

No, Pipes. It could be a random group of giant eagles flying in perfect formation. Of course they’re Roman!
