The Titan's curse

              After his little misadventure  with....um...uh.. in the  Sea Of Monsters, after which Thalia(daughter of Zeus) came back to life, Percy is once again called for to escort two new demigods. Thalia, P & Annabeth go to a certain military school. There they encounter Grover who tells them that the reason he wasn't able to contact them earlier was because of the vice-principal, Dr.Thorn(a Manticore).

             But today, there was a ball going on. They somehow got in and managed to locate the two of 'em. Now the trouble started. Dr. Thorn took them away and somehow got P too. But T, A and G saved them. But when this was going on, the Hunters of Artemis got  into the act. The Manticore escaped taking Annabeth hostage.

             Now Artemis asked Bianca(the elder sibling among the 2 demigods), to join them. She said that B would become immortal to start with. However if she died in war, she would be gone forever. Along with this she had to submit to a condition that she would never be attracted by Men. B accepted.

            After this Artemis asked her brother Apollo to drop them (T, P, Nico-younger sibling and the Hunters) at Camp Half-Blood as she felt that the Bane of Olympus(a creature) was coming back to life. After they got back, P got dreams of A being tortured. He somehow wanted to get her back.

Will he do it? Can he do it?

Once again 'Only the Book will tell'.

The Sea Of Monsters

    OK. Next comes 'The Sea of Monsters'. In this book Percy undertakes the 'Odyssey'(The voyages of Odysseus). 
    
    Percy comes to camp with his 'large' friend - Tyson. He discovers something about him(T) that makes him feel horrified. His shock is increased when Chiron is dismissed and somebody else is put in his place. Suddenly, adding to his misery, Grover goes missing. And the tree which protects the camp is discovered to be poisoned and monsters start pouring in like water during a flood. To stop it, the Golden Fleece of Jason is required. Clarisse is sent on the quest to find it.

    Nothing is going well for Percy at camp when one night, he meets Hermes, the messenger of the Gods. Hermes gives him a few goodies and encourages him to go on the quest without the permission of the authorities at the camp.

    Will Perce succeed in his mission? Can the camp be saved? Read the book to find out.
