There is always a way out for those clever enough to find it.

Christmas in the Underworld was NOT my idea. If I’d known what was coming, I would’ve called in sick. I could’ve avoided an army of demons, a fight with a Titan, and a trick that...

I tried to imagine how things could get much worse. The gods were in the Midwest fighting a huge monster that had almost defeated them once before. Poseidon was under siege and losing a war...

Sphinx on Seventy-second Street. Big Bully. I prayed to Daddy for help. Soon the people at Meriwether found me. Mey you. Biggest blessing ever. Sorry I said Poseidon was mean. He sent me a brother.

Grover started to sniffle and I figured if I didn’t cheer him up he’d either start bawling or chewing up my mattress. He tends to eat household objects whenever he gets upset.

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...

I cannot control traffic.”You both sound like my mother,” I said.Shut up!” they both said in union.

Hercules used noise! Brass bells! He scared them away with the most horrible sound he could-” said Percy”Percy… Chiron’s collection!

Lord Bacchus, do you remember me? I helped you with that missing leopard in Sonoma.” Bacchus scratched his stubbly chin. “Ah… yes. John Green.” “Jason Grace.””Whatever,” the god said.

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....

Seven half-bloods shall answer the callTo storm or fire the world must fallAn oath to keep with a final breathand foes bear arms to the doors of death

Thalia had been turned into a pine tree when she was 12. Me… well, i was doing my best not to follow her example. I had nightmares about what Poseidon might turn me into if...

Not all powers are spectacular.” Hestia looked at me. “Sometimes the hardest power to master is the power of yielding.

You must forgive my Hunters if they do not welcome you,” Artemis said. “It is very rare that we would have boys in this camp. Boys are usually forbidden to have any contact with the...
