The Son of Neptune

By Rick Roidan

Percy Jackson, half-blood, son of Poseidon, God of the sea, has lost his memory and he can only remember one thing from his past. Annabeth.

“’So what do you say? Will you help a defenceless old woman?’

Percy doubted June was defenceless. At worst, this was a trap. At best, this was some kind of test.

Percy hated tests. Since he had lost his memory his whole life was one big fill-in-the-blank. He was                      , ,, from                                and if the monsters caught him he'd be                                              .

Then he thought of Annabeth, the only part of his old life he was sure about. He had to find her.”

 After discovering Camp Jupiter, Percy uses his power over water to save fellow half-blood Frank who was being attacked by two monsters.

“Percy thrust out his hands. The river surged. Giant whirlpools formed on either side of Frank.

Giant watery hands erupted from the stream, copying Percy’s movements. The giant hands grabbed the gorgons, who dropped frank in surprise. Then the hands lifted the two squawking monsters in a liquid vice grip.

Percy heard the other campers yelping and backing away, but he stayed focused on his task…”

This makes the other kids suspicious of Percy.

 The camp oracle, Octavian, sends Percy, Hazel (daughter of Pluto) and Frank (son of Mars) on an almost impossible quest to save two camps. If they fail, both camps and maybe even the entire world will be destroyed.

Recommend for ages 11 and up.
