Rick Riordan
Expected publication date: September 24, 2024
Percy Jackson, now a high school senior, needs three recommendation letters from the Greek gods in order to get into New Rome University. He earned his first one by retrieving Ganymede’s chalice. Now the goddess Hecate has offered Percy another “opportunity”—all he has to do is pet sit her mastiff, Hecuba, and her polecat, Gale, over Halloween week while she is away. Piece of cake, right?
Percy, Annabeth, and Grover settle into Hecate’s seemingly endless mansion and start getting acquainted with the fussy, terrifying animals. The trio has been warned not to touch anything, but while Percy and Annabeth are out at school, Grover can’t resist drinking a strawberry-flavored potion in the laboratory. It turns him into a giant frenzied goat, and after he rampages through the house, damaging everything in sight, and passes out, Hecuba and Gale escape. Now the friends have to find Hecate’s pets and somehow restore the house, all before Hecate gets back on Saturday. It’s going to take luck, demigod wiles, and some old and new friends to hunt down the animals and set things right again. - from Goodreads
I've only read the first three PJ books. I have some catching up to do...
ReplyDeleteI think I've read beyond that, but for awhile I was listening to them on audio, so they are all blending together for me now!
DeleteYes! My sons and I love this series. I just pre-ordered my copy!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome!!
DeleteI've always thought these books looked fun but i've never read them - am I too late to start???
ReplyDeleteNo way! I have the first book, you can borrow it. I think Luna would love it, too!
DeleteThis should be our next reading adventure together after The Wild Robot!
DeleteI have only read a few Percy Jackson books, but I have no doubt this will be great.
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
DeleteI've been so curious about the Percy Jackson books, but I always feel intimidated to actually start and worried if I'd like them or not, haha! But they seem so fun, this may have just convinced me. They seem like they might make fun audiobooks, maybe I'll try that! I hope you enjoy this one!
ReplyDeleteThey are so fun, it's interesting to see how Riordan is inspired by the Greek myths and twists them! They are quick reads, too.
DeleteI need to catch up on these new Percy Jackson books, I loved all the ones I've read so far!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think I read most, or all of, the original series, but the newer ones I've fallen behind on!
DeleteI still need to read book 6 but I've really enjoyed this series. I picked it up for my son but then ended up reading it myself instead, lol.
ReplyDeleteHaha, well, hopefully it's something you can talk about together!
