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.

Percy: The Heka-what? Annabeth: The Hundred-Handed Ones. They called them that because… well, they had a hundred hands. They were the elder brothers of the Cyclopes. Tyson: Very powerful. Wonderful! As tall as the sky....

Hermes’s shoulders sagged. “They’ll try, Percy. Oh, we’ll all try to keep our promise. And maybe for a while things will get better. But we gods have never been good at keeping oaths. You were...

Hermes’s eyes twinkled. “Martha, may I have the first package, please?”Martha opened her mouth … and kept opening it until it was as wide as my arm. She belched out a stainless steel canister-an old-fashioned...

Sugar and caffeine. My willpower crumbled.

Dakota’s head was stuck in his toga. He staggered around olike a Kool-Aid-stained ghost.”Um,” Percy said, “should I wear my bed sheets?

Is this guy Love or Death?” Jason growled.Ask your friends, Cupid said. Frank, Hazel, and Percy met my counterpart, Thanatos. We are not so different. Except Death is sometimes kinder.

He slung off his backpack. He’d managed to grab a lot of supplies at the Napa Bargain Mart: a portable GPS, duct tape, lighter, superglue, water bottle, camping roll, a Comfy Panda Pillow Pet (as...

I was flying right toward him (the pig) at the speed of demigod-smashing.
