The Titan's Curse (Percy Jackson and the Olympians #3)
by Rick Riordan (Author)
When the goddess Artemis goes missing, she is believed to have been kidnapped.
And now it's up to Percy and his friends to find out what happened. Who is powerful enough to kidnap a goddess?
They must find Artemis before the winter solstice, when her influence on the Olympian Council could swing an important vote on the war with the titans. Not only that, but first Percy will have to solve the mystery of a rare monster that Artemis was hunting when she disappeared -- a monster rumored to be so powerful it could destroy Olympus forever.

Gr 6-9In this installment, Riordan continues to enliven ancient mythology with wit, contemporary staging, and teenage heroics. Percy Jackson is now 14, a bit older and wiser, yet still entangled with the Fates. Friends, monsters, dysfunctional gods, and the romantic stirrings of all things natural and mythological are encountered. His good friend, if oft-time rival, Annabeth (daughter of Athena) is missing, as is Artemis, goddess of the hunt. Joined by best buddy Grover-the-goat-boy and an argumentative array of accomplices, Percy sets off to fulfill, and hopefully foil, the foreboding prophecy of the Oracle. Plagued by ominous dreams, thwarted by hideous monsters, and challenged by conflicting partnerships, the search partys success hinges on unlikely unity. The droll pitch is teen-perfect, as when Apollo heats up the scene by arriving in his fire-red Maserati, wearing jeans, a sleeveless T-shirt, and loafers. 'Wow, Thalia muttered, 'Apollo is hot. 'Hes the sun god, I said. 'Thats not what I meant. Intricate prophecies and relationships are neatly braided into the adventurous plot. Teachers will cheer for Percy Jackson and the Olympians as they inspire students to embrace Greek mythology and score the ultimate Herculean challenge: getting kids to read. All in all, a winner of Olympic proportions and a surefire read-aloud."Alison Follos, North Country School, Lake Placid, NY"

My Favorite in the Series
I adore all the Percy Jackson books, they have a special place in my heart. This was my favorite in the series. It was interesting, witty, fun, and riddled with Percy's entertaining sarcasm, yet at the same time is where the series has a turning point to the darker side of the series. It sets up the next books, accompanied by heart-wrenching lines that carry with you. Nico is my favorite character and I loved his introduction in this book, and how vastly his character changes. This was a super fun book!
