Product Description
When Percy Jackson receives an urgent distress call from his friend Grover, he immediately prepares for battle. He knows he’ll need his powerful demigod allies, Annabeth and Thalia, at his side; his trusty bronze sword, Riptide; and . . . a ride from his mom.
The demigods race to the rescue, to find that Grover has made an important
discovery: two new powerful half-bloods whose parentage is unknown. But that’s not all that awaits them. The Titan lord, Kronos, has set up his most devious trap yet, and the young heroes have just fallen prey. Hilarious and action-packed, this third adventure in the series finds Percy faced with his most dangerous challenge so far: the chilling prophecy of the Titan’s curse.

 My child LOVED this boook November 13, 2008
My son who is 13 yrs old, couldn't put it down. We ended up buying the whole series. It was very nice to see him want to read!
 HADES! November 11, 2008
Yet another great installment to the the Percy Jackson series.Okay,it is a little weaker then the other two,but it still keeps all the heart from the rest of the series.
With new additions to this band of friends,such as Thalia and Zoe Nightshade,this will still keep you reading.
Now, instead of the team setting out to retrieve a lightning bolt or save a goat,they have to save their friend Annabeth from the clutches of old enemys.
Even a new enemy comes along.
Kids,adults,keep reading my articles and keep reading about the adventures of Percy Jackson.
From J. Kaye's Book Blog November 2, 2008
THE TITAN'S CURSE is the third installment of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. In this book, Percy receives a call from Grover, his satyr friend; two half-bloods have been discovered. Percy, Annabeth, Thalia, and Grover go searching for them, but the mysterious vice principal guards the children at all times. Soon after they are attacked by a manticore, but the Hunters make a surprise appearance. Soon the manticore runs taking Annabeth with him. Artemis, the leader of the Hunters, sets off to track him, while Zoe, second in command of the hunters, and the rest of the Hunters go back to Camp Half-Blood.
Percy and Zoe have bad visions about Annabeth and Artemis. So Zoe, Bianca, the new member of the Hunters, Thalia, and Grover set out on a mission to find out what happened. And against Chiron's orders Percy follows them. But many hardships unfold and one of them dies. And they are being followed by Luke and someone that goes by the name the General. They keep finding more mysterious people and animals along there way and Percy learn more about The Great Stirring and about the Titans.

All book orders with Amazon are always received in great shape and in a timely manner. I prefer to order through Amazon then the local bookstores.
No book has had such an impact on the peace and quiet in my house September 18, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
With 2 boys (ages 9 and 11), 3 big dogs, 2 geckos and a husband, there is usually a LOT of activity in my house. However, since my son discovered this series, things have gotten MUCH quieter! (If only I could teach my dogs to read!)
This series has captured my son's interest and imagination unlike any other fiction series with the exception of the Magic Treehouse books. He is an 11-year old and despite being considered AG in reading skills, he would rather eat liver than read novels. My son's fifth grade teacher got him interested in the first book. After that, he had to have the whole set. He read all four books in about 1.5 weeks time -- usually reading over 100 pages a day -- even on school nights.
He thought this book was the best though the ending definitely leaves you hanging -- and waiting for Book 5.
The things that he likes best about the series:
1. Percy is a regular kid just like him who has his struggles in school.
2. He loves the Greek Mythology tie-ins
3. He loves the writing style and humor of the author
4. The stories don't take place in ancient times -- rather uses ancient stories in modern times.
Now my problem is what to get him reading next. He isn't interested in Harry Potter or most of the other popular fantasy collections. If any one has a suggestion on other series with the above characteristics, please let me know -- I would be eternally grateful!
