You speak horse?” Hazel asked.”Speaking to horses is a Poseidon thing,” Percy said. “Uh, I mean a Neptune thing.””Then you and Arion should get along fine,” Hazel said. “He’s a son of Neptune too.”Percy turned...

Poor Nico di Angelo. The god’s voice was tinged with disappointment. Do you know what you want, much less what I want? My beloved Psyche risked everything in the name of Love. It was the...

I tell aspiring writers that you have to find what you MUST write. When you find it, you will know, because the subject matter won’t let you go. It’s not enough to write simply because...

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.

hermes has threatened me with slow mail. lousy Internet service and a horrible stock market if i publish this story. I hope he is just bluffing.

THAT’S IT!” Terminus cried. “That’s AGAINST THE RULES!”Polybotes frowned, obviously confused that he was being told off by a statue. “What are you?” he growled. “Shut up!”He pushed the statue over and turned back to...

Dessa vez, não olhei para trás.

Tyson, Frank is a descendant of Poseidon.””Brother!” Tyson crushed Frank in a hug.Percy stifled a laugh. “Actually he’s more like a great-great-…Oh, never mind. Yeah, he’s your brother.””Thanks.” Frank mumbled through a mouthful of flannel.

Nico’s voice was like broken glass. “I- I wasn’t in love with Annabeth.””You were jealous of her,” Jason said. “That’s why you didn’t want to be around her. Especially why you don’t want to be...

I don’t feel that way anymore,” Nico muttered. “I mean… I gave up on Percy. I was young and impressionable, and I- I don’t…”His voice cracked, and Jason could tell the guy was about to...

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,...

As soon as the rocky coast line of the island came into view, I ordered one of the ropes to wrap around Annabeth’s waist, tying her to the foremast. “Don’t untie me,” she said, “no...

I didn’t answer, but, please—nothing is obvious with boys. For such simple creatures, they are quite baffling.

If you look at it from any other side, it looks like a pile of enormous deer droppings, but Chiron wouldn’t let us call the place the Poop Pile, especially after it had been named...

Look,” Percy continued, “I know I’m new here. I know you guys don’t like to mention the massacre in the nineteen eighties-“”He mentioned it!” one of the ghosts whimpered.

About five meters ahead, Nico was swinging his black sword with one hand, holding the scepter of Diocletian aloft with the other. He kept shouting orders at the legionnaires, but they paid him no attention.Of...

Always happens with men. They promise friendship. They promise to treat you as an equal. In the end, all they want is to possess you.

With great power… comes need to take a nap. Wake me up later

Now, leave.” All three boys slumped forward. Percy fell face-first into his pizza. “Percy!” Annabeth grabbed him.

No,” Frank said. “I’m only a centurion.”Jason cursed in Latin. “He means he can’t control a whole legion. He’s not of high enough rank.”Nico swung back his black sword at another gryphon. “Well, then, promote...

Yes, Jason Grace.” Favonius arched an eyebrow. “I fell in love with a dude. Does that shock you?

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...

Still hiding, Cupid said, smashing another skeleton to pieces. You do not have the strength.”Nico,” Jason managed to say, “it’s okay. I get it.”Nico glanced over, pain and misery washing across his face.”No you don’t,”...

Nico drank from the chalice, then offered it to Jason. “You asked me about trust, and taking a risk? Well, here you go, son of Jupiter. How much do you trust me?”Frank wasn’t sure what...

The thing about plummetting downhill at fifty miles an hour on a snack platter – if you realize it’s a bad idea when you’re halfway down, it’s too late.

Six minus six is zero. Spears are good for subtraction, yep.

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

Bob says hello,” he told the stars.

Elections only happen in two ways,” Reyna said. “Either the legion raises someone on a shield after a major success on the battlefield-and we haven’t had any major battles-or we hold a ballot on the...

Nothing?” Favonius cried. “The one you care for most… plunged into Tartarus, and you still will not allow the truth?”Suddenly Jason felt like he was eavedropping. The one you care for most.

Yeah, okay. But, Nico, you do choose how to live your life. You want to trust somebody? Maybe take a risk that I’m really your friend and I’ll accept you. It’s better than hiding.

Percy, we’re going to Polyphemus’ island! Polyphemus is an S-i-k…a C-y-k…” She stamped her foot in frustration. As smart as she was, Annabeth was dyslexic, too. We could’ve been there all night while she tried...

Hazel frowned. “Why that one?””You don’t see the ghost?” Frank asked.”Ghost?” Nico asked.Okay… if Frank was seeing a ghost that the Underworld kids couldn’t see, something was definitely wrong.

Thats what happens to Snow in Texas, lady. It freaking MELTS!!” Leo Valdez- The Lost Hero

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

Well, actually it carried Cadmus. Europa fell off and died along the way, but that’s not important.’It was probably important to her.

Jason always tried to build a good relationship with his team. He’d learned the hard way that if somebody was going to have your back in a fight, it was better if you found some...

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...

There was Tyson moving into the Poseidon cabin, giggling to himself every fifteen seconds and saying, “Percy is my brother?” like he’d just won the lottery.Aw, Tyson,” I’d say. “It’s not that simple.

A hero can go anywhere, challenge anyone, as long as he has the nerve.

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...

Images flashed through his mind. He saw Nico and his sister on a snowy cliff in Maine, Percy Jackson protecting them from a manticore. Percy’s sword gleamed in the dark. He’d been the first demigod...

They sped by a pack of sea lions lounging on the docks, and she swore she saw an old homeless guy sitting among them. From across the water the old man pointed a bony finger...

Oh, he’s not like that,” said Favonius.Jason flinched. “You can read my mind?””I don’t need to.” Favonius tossed his bronze hoop in the air. “Everyone has the wrong impression of Cupid… until they meet him.

Swords can’t solve every problem.

Nico, you can do this,” Jason said. “It might be embarrassing, but it’s for the scepter.”Nico didn’t look convinced. In fact he looked like he was going to be sick. But he squared his shoulders...

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...

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

Frank stared at her. “But you throw Ding Dongs at monsters.”Iris looked horrified. “Oh, they’re not Ding Dongs.”She rummaged under the counter and brought out a package of chocolate covered cakes that looked exactly like...

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.
