Nate Brodie Makes a Million-Dollar Throw

Nate had to play a final game and if his team won, they will reach to the playoffs in two weeks. On the other side, he had the opportunity to meet Tom Brady in a contest. There was a target and Nate had to hit it to win one million bucks, but it was not easy since the prize was a really good one. Nate told to Tom that he was scared, but Brady told him that he is always a little scared during his games, but he had to defeat that scare with confidence. Finally, Nate Brodie threw the football and hit the target, he had made a Million-Dollar Throw!

"And Nate was so flustered, so excited to be actually shaking Brady's hand with his hands shaking the way they were that he forgot he was holding his football and promptly dropped it."
Nate was so excited to meet Tom Brady that he forgot about everything, even what was in his own hands.
"So this is what it feels like, Nate wanted to say to him. This is what it's like to be you."
When Nate hit the target, the whole Gillette Stadium started to make noise and shout Nate's name. He understood how Brady feels when he is playing and he really liked it.

The Patriots' Thanksgiving day was finally there, and Nate had to participate in the halftime contest. He met Tom Brady and he couldn't believe that, and he told to his idol that he was scared and nervous about throwing the ball. Tom told him that it is important to face your fears and be confident so that you can do everything well always. Nate did what Brady told to him and hit the target; he had made a Million-Dollar Throw.

Nate has a Gift for Abby

Nate and Abby had a fight and spent the whole weekend without talking to each other. On Monday, when they went back to school, they started speaking a little, but they were still affected because of that fight. Abby and Nate started to miss class more constantly and it seemed like their lifes were going in different directions. Some days later, Nate find a box in his house that he meant to send Abby and he finally did it. In the box was a book that he was going to send her because he liked it and also the author.

"The distance between them was still there. This was the new Nate-and-Abby, the world the two of them were living in now."
Nate and Abby were really good friends, but they started to get separated and their friendship was broken.
"Then Abby missed school again on Thursday. It was becoming routine now, routine for the two of them not to see each other or even speak to each other."
Abby and Nate didn't speak anymore and it seems like they had never meet each other.

Nate and Abby had a fight and started separating from each other. Their friendship was ending because they didn't look or speak to each other anymore. Sometimes, it is hard to lose a friend, but you have to deal with it or try to fix whatever you have done wrong. Nate tried to do something by sending that book to Abby, but there is no guarantee that they will be friends and talk to each other again.

Nate is being Observed

For the next game, Nate had a lot of pressure because there were some newspapers and media in general who went there to see the game and take pictures or videos from Nate's game. During the whole match, Nate kept an eye on the game and the other one on the sideline where all the journalists and the media were. Also, he played another game in which his performance was really bad again. For the first time in his life, Coach Rivers sent him to the bench because of his bad game.

"But whatever pressure Nate was feeling last Saturday didn't amount to a pile of dirty socks compared with what he was feeling this Saturday against the Manorville Rams."
One of Nate's pressures was that his father had time to go and watch the game, something that didn't happened frequently.
"People from The Today Show were there to do a feature on him, and a reporter from Sports Illustrated was on hand to write a piece about the eighth-grade quarterback who was going to throw a ball for all that money on Thanksgiving night."
There was double-pressure for Nate and that desconcentrated him so that he had a bad game and got sent to the bench.

This match that Nate played was a really tough one for him since there was a lot of pressure due to the circumstances of the game. His father and media were going to watch his game and that meant a lot of pressure for Nate. In sports, there is always some kind of pressure, sometimes more and sometimes less, but there is always something important for what you are playing. Nate couldn't deal with so much pressure and he was sent to the bench by Coach Rivers since he wanted a better opportunity to win the match.

Nate is not Focused

Nate Brodie had to play a game for his school team, but had a really bad performance on it. He threw incomplete passes, got sacked, and caused fumbles during the entire match. He was not as motivated as always since his friend, Abby, had fall on the stairs and his mother had to take Abby to the hospital and missed the game. With their quarterback practically off, Nate's team lost that match, but not with a big difference in the score. The coach talked with Nate and told him that he has to forget about the errors he had made and keep doing the things in a better way.

"The teams were tied 7-7 at halftime. It had hardly anything to do with the way Nate was playing and absolutely nothing zip, zero- with the way he was throwing the ball."
Nate was not having a good day and his team neither. It seemed like the pressure had played an important role in the game.
"They're not here, Coach Rivers said. I decided to wait until the game was over to tell you. Abby fell. Your mom had to take her to the hospital."

Nate was a really good football player in his position (quarterback), but he was clearly having a bad day. He started to get sacked and made bad plays that ended up being benefitial for the opponent team. Everybody can have a bad day, especially an athlete since they have to focus to give the best they have in every competition and that is very difficult. Coach Rivers made a good decision when telling Nate the it is okay to make some errors and he has to be always concentrated on helping the team and improving his game.

Nate Brodie

Nate Brodie is a 13 year-old boy who loves american football and plays at his school team as a quarterback. His favorite player and the one who Nate admires the most is Tom Brady, quarterback of the New England Patriots. He was a really big fan of Tom Brady and he couldn't believe when he could get some articles signed by him. Nate went to play football in a park when he was not at school and he always did that with his friends.

"A Brady throw all the way, he said. I wish, Nate said. I'm serious, Coach said. Biggest Throw of the season."
Nate was a really good quarterback and threw a 40-yard pass to help his team win the game.
"The winner of the contest was going to get the chance to make one throw from thirty yards away, through a twenty-inch hole at halftime of the Patriots' Thanksgiving night game against the Colts. Whoever made the throw would be handed a check for one million dollars."
There was this contest and I thought that Nate may win this contest or another teammate may have the opportunity to throw it.

Nate Brodie is a boy who likes american football like a very short amount of people do. He is from New England and his favorite Patriot and idol is the quarterback Tom Brady. In the life of every good player or athlete from any sport, there is an idol or a person to admire so that he or she can follow its example and what he or she did to reach to the position in which is now. He was a quarterback who played for the team of his school and one of his biggest dreams was to meet Tom Brady at some point.

Zorro is Don Diego Vega

Zorro and his big group of fighters went to the jail to save the Pulidos and they took them out of there. Zorro and Captain Ramon had a hand-to-hand fight in which Ramon ended dying with the Mark of Zorro in his face. After that, Gonzales and seven of his fighters appeared to fight Zorro and Lolita alone. When Gonzales was advancing and going to kill Zorro and Lolita, Zorro's fighters appeared and saved them from Gonzales. Lolita had to choose to marry Zorro or Don Diego, but first she wanted Zorro to take off his mask. When Zorro took off his mask, everybody could see that he was Don Diego Vega.

"My brave caballeros! he said. They will help us now." This happened when Zorro's fighters appeared to save him and Lolita from Seargent Gonzales.
"Well, which man do you love? asked Don Diego" "Both of them! she said, laughing" Lolita said that she loves Don Diego Vega and Zorro since she discovered that these two men were the same person.

Zorro went to the jail to save the Pulidos since he loves Lolita. He had to kill Captain Ramon because he fooled the governor and caused the Pulidos to get to prison. The governor was sent out of Los Angeles and Don Alejandro Vega took the charge of protecting this city. Zorro revealed that he was Don Diego Vega and finished marrying Lolita.

Pulidos in Prison

Don Diego Vega went to his father's home to visit and talk with him. A group of ten men arrived to the house of Don Alejandro Vega. Zorro also went there and spoke to them about how bad and cruel was the governor of California and that they should destroy him and at the end he convinced the group of men to do that. On the other side, the governor read the letter that Captain Ramon wrote to him. He went to Captain Ramon's office and they decided to arrest the Pulidos.

"The soldiers must arrest Don Carlos and his family." The letter from Captain Ramon made the governor very angry and decided to arrest Don Carlos and his family.
"We'll get out of here. Perhaps a friend will rescue us!" Lolita said this referring to Zorro and she is showing that she trusts Zorro's abilities and love which will take the out of prison.

The governor of California and Captain Ramon are really bad people because they arrested the Pulidos for no good reason. The Pulidos, while being captured, were confused because they knew that they hadn't done anything wrong. Sadly and looking at the ground, the Pulidos finally went to jail by the orders of the governor. Lolita's final comment shows that she is convinced that Zorro will rescue them. Will Zorro appear to save the Pulidos from  prison?

Don Diego is so weak

Zorro went to Captain Ramon´s office and find the letter that he wrote to the governor of California and burned one of the two copies, but he thought that that was the only one. He wanted to fight Captain Ramon, but Seargent Gonzales and his soldiers entered immediately so he had to escape. Lolita told Don Diego Vega about what Captain Ramon had done to her and how he entered to his house. He told Lolita that he was going to talk to Captain Ramon and that make her angry because she couldn´t belief that he was so weak. After speaking with him, Captain Ramon started to laugh about how soft Don Diego is.

"Gonzales! shouted Captain Ramon. Come quickly! Save me! Zorro is here!" This happened when Zorro wanted to attack Captain Ramon and suddenly appeared Gonzales to save him.
"Lolita was very angry. Why was Don Diego so weak? Lolita preferred Zorro because he was brave and Don Diego was too soft and he was looked as a coward.

Brave people are the ones who everybody likes and admires in life. It is not bad or incorrect being soft or quiet, but you can´t be like that for your whole life. In this case, Don Diego Vega is too weak and Lolita doesn't like that at all. It seems like Lolita is going to choose Zorro for sure, but there can always happen something abnormal.

Lolita´s Three Admirers

Don Diego Vega, Captain Ramon, and Zorro wanted to marry Lolita. Don Carlos (Lolita´s father) wanted Lolita to marry either Don Diego or Captain Ramon since his family had lost its money and they were rich. The one who Lolita really loved was Zorro, but that was not something good for Don Carlos. Don Ramon realized that Lolita didn´t love him so he decide to take revenge and punish her and the Pulido family. He wrote a letter to the governor of California telling him that the Pulidos helped Zorro escape from him when he was going to capture Zorro.

"I heard a lady scream and I came to help her, said Zorro." Everybody thinks Zorro is a thief, but instead of that, he is a good man.
"You´ll be sorry for that, my darling! he said." Lolita told Captain Ramon that she was not interested in him and he didn´t like that at all.

Lolita is a woman who is pretended by many men, but winning her love is very difficult. Captain Ramon wanted to get her, but Lolita rejected which made him really angry. Don Diego Vega and Zorro had treat her very well, but she seems to be more interested in Zorro. The balance is inclined towards Zorro, but who will Lolita choose to get married?

Zorro vs Gonzales

Don Diego Vega was a man from a very rich family that were friends with the governor of California. Seargent Gonzales was the most important soldier of the governor. These two men were really different from each other because Gonzales was cruel and angry, but Don Diego Vega was soft and quiet. Zorro was a man wanted by the government because he was known as a thief and Gonzales wanted to kill him and get the reward. When Don Diego Vega went to his home that he was ready to fight Zorro and he will tell him what happens.

"Four days ago you stopped a man on the road and beat him cruelly." Zorro said this because he had seen Gonzales do this and the man was one of his friends. This gave Zorro a reason to fight Gonzales, so they both want to kill each other.
"´Very well, Señor Zorro,´he said.´We will fight.´" I thought that thee rivalry and anger were big and one of the two men will die for sure at some point.

Don Diego Vega and Gonzales´s ways of thinking are opposite, but still they are friends. Gonzales is a bad guy who kills brutally and wants desperately the reward for Zorro. Gonzales is sure that he can kill Zorro and get his reward, but this is not as easy as he thinks it can be. Gonzales and Zorro will be at constant fight during the story. Who will win this intense fight.

Night Hoops

This book is about two teens that were basketball players and their names were Trent Dawson and Nick Abbott. At the start of the story, these two hated each other because Trent was a bully and his older brother, Zack, was a criminal. One day in a newspaper, it appeared that Zack killed a man in a bridge and the family had to get out of the city immediately. The team needed both Nick and Trent since they were the best players of the whole team, so Trent agreed to play only until they were the champions or the season ended and then he will leave. At the end, Nick and Trent´s team won the championship and these two enemies ended being friends just before the Dawson´s going to leave.

"Against the fast break, you have to stop the ball. That´s rule number one, even if it´s Trent Dawson, eyes wild, who´s barreling down the lane at you, and even if it´s just a summer pick-up game. You´ve still got to suck it up and do it. So I challenged him, holding my position, feet set."
At this point, in the start of the book, I realized that Trent was a bad guy and Nick has something against him.
"So the two of us stayed where we were. A minute went by, then another, and another. It was pleasant just to sit, not saying anything."
From this quote at the end of the book, I recognized how two persons that hate each other can end up being good friends and how life can present a lot of changes in a positive way all of a sudden.

This book has a really good message that is important that everyone knows. This message is that you should give always a second chance to everyone to change and they can end up giving you a big surprise. In this story, two people gave a second chance: Nick´s father gave Nick a second chance by focusing more on him and helping him to improve, and Nick did the same for Trent by being more flexible and letting him get his good things out and being his friend. It is really important to give other people an oportunity to change and end up being a better person on a court or wherever he or she is.

The World is Saved!

Summary of the Chapters

Percy, Annabeth, and Grover went to the Olympus to prepare for the final battle against Kronos and the titans who were going there for the fight. Kronos started to destroy everything in the Olympus when Percy and his friends entered the thrones part and the fight between Percy and Kronos started. The world almost ended, but Percy and the gods could defeat the titans in their mission and save everybody from a fatal ending. Percy admits that he can´t leave Annabeth and he wants to stay with her.

Text References

"I have to fight him," I told her. "It´s my fight too, Percy."
Both, Percy and Annabeth knew that they had to fight Kronos and it was crucial to save the gods, themselves, and the world.
"I´m immortal you fool! I have escaped Tartarus. You have no business here, and no chance to live."
Kronos is right in telling this to Nico and the half-bloods, but they can still destroy him without killing him and he will be gone for another long time.

Final Thoughts & Comments

The half-bloods are really brave to fight Kronos. They knew that they were at risk of dying and Kronos was not (he will be destroyed and could appear again in a long time, but is still not dying).
The reason why the half-bloods fight was something that helped them because they knew what was at stake. Percy and the half-bloods are real heroes and they are the ones that can say that they saved the world.

Kronos Always Gives Up?

Summary of the Chapters

Percy gets out of the Underworld and meets the half-bloods at the Empire State Building with the purpose to also meet Zeus and the gods. Percy had a fight against the titan Kronos and after a moment of fight, Percy made the titan give up and get out of there. Prometheus told Percy that they have to give up in their mission of destroying the titans because they will die and the Olympus will be destroyed and if they fight or not had nothing to do with that. The half-bloods and a lot of centaurs from Chiron attacked Kronos again and he had to give up again.

Text References

"I tried to wound his men, not kill. That slowed me down, but these weren´t monsters. They were demigods who´d fallen under Kronos´s spell."
Kronos was intelligent and used a spell to get some demigods fooled and get them on their side.
"He mounted his horse, whirled around, and galloped back to Brooklyn, followed by his warriors."
After fighting Percy, the titan Kronos decided to escape to Brooklyn because Percy was strong enough to fight him.

Final Thoughts & Comments

Kronos is a titan and Percy a half-blood, but still Percy can fight him having that big disadvantage. Kronos created a spell to make some of the half.bloods change to his side and help him fight against the other half-bloods. At some times I think that Kronos is a coward because he always escapes when he is at risk of being defeated. Also, he can be viewed as someone intelligent because he knows exactly at which moment he can be destroyed and just escapes to protect himself from the danger that in this case would be Percy and the half-bloods.

Summary of the Chapters:

Percy Jackson went back to Camp Half-Blood and told everyone that they exploded the Princess Andromeda and Beckendorf died there. Percy didn´t want to give any full report, but visit the Oracle and know what has to happen in the future. Half-Bloods went to Luke´s mom house and she started hugging everybody saying that they were Luke and he has returned. The half-bloods realized that there was a problem with May Castellan and got the story of the last time that she had been with his son.

Text References:

"I don´t recommend shadow travel if you´re scared of:
a) The dark
b) Cold shivers up your spine
c) Strange noises
d) Going so fast you feel like your face is peeling off"
Percy´s recommendations told me that shadow travel is not the best way to do it and also it make me feel like Percy is going to die because he likes high-risk activities and they can kill him.
"Perrrrcy, is Kronos really going to invade?"
Percy and his teammates are afraid of Kronos invading them or their camp.

Final Thoughts and Comments:

Percy is a person who loves danger and destroying the Titans is dangerous. It seems like it is a perfect job for Percy if he likes taking some risks. Kronos will not be afraid of killing Percy if he has an opportunity to do so. Percy Jackson is someone really brave that wants to take risks to save the Half-Bloods just like he had done a lot of times in the past.

I am Rescued... Again, I go to see my Dad... Again

Summary of the Chapters

Percy jumped from the Princess Andromeda after making it explode using some bombs that he find with Beckendorf. After being for some hours in the water, Percy was rescued by his friends (Tyson and Nico di Angelo). Tyson and Nico explained to Percy that he was in the water for some hours and also that they searched for Beckendorf and didn´t find him. After that, Tyson told Percy to go with him to Poseidon´s palace. They went there and realized that Poseidon had really big power and that any common mortal would die instantly in the palace because it was underwater and also had some creatures that can kill them.

Text References

""Beckendorf was on board. Did you find . . ." Tyson´s face darkened. "No sign of him. I am sorry, brother.""
I knew that something had happened to Tyson, but I asked me a question: Exactly, what had happened to him?
"I knew in my gut he was dead. He´d sacrificed himself to take out the Princess Andromeda, and I had abandoned him.
Percy felt like what happened to Beckendorf was all his fault. Percy is convinced that Beckendorf is dead, but I still have my questions about what had happened to him; if he actually died, he survived, or he was rescued by someone just as Sally when Percy fought against the Minotaur and the beast attacked Percy´s mom.

Final Thoughts & Comments

Percy was confused when he was rescued from the water. It is normal because when someone is in the water for a long period of time, the brain gets tired and needs to take a rest by sleeping. After such an event, Percy had no time to rest because something strange happened and he wanted to go and see Poseidon with Tyson. What was that strange thing that happened? It is a sign that the Titans will attack Olympus? Who knows?

Princess Andromeda? Again?

Summary of the Chapters

Percy and Beckendorf have seen again the Princess Andromeda, but this time, it was going straight to New York. The two half-bloods went there because they wanted to stop the boat before starting any evil plan and save the day before anybody noticed it or even having a quest. They both enter the boat and a lot of monsters that wanted to kill them and they were guided by Luke and Kronos. In a backpack, were a lot of explosives that Percy and Beckendorf wanted to use to blow up the boat. They did blow up the boat and Percy jumped out of it.

Text References

"Seeing the ship again twisted my gut into knots. I´d almost died twice on the Princess Andromeda. Now it was heading straight for New York."
Looking again at the Princess Andromeda was not the best thing that could have happened to Percy because it remembers him from both times that he could´ve died there. This also told Percy that Luke and Kronos wanted to do something evil in New York.
"Three years ago, Blackjack had been enslaved on the Princess Andromeda until he´d escaped with a little help from my friends and me."
This boat not only brought bad memories to Percy, but to Blackjack who had also experienced how evil the Titans were.

Final Thoughts & Comments

Percy is again facing the Princess Andromeda which is one of the places that he would never like to see again. Anyway, Percy goes there to stop the boat from going to New York with the help of Beckendorf. He reaches his goal of preventing the boat from arriving to N.Y. by using some explosives that he had in a backpack. He used those bombs and blew up the boat, then he escaped by jumping to the water. Percy could manage to escape, but what happened to Beckendorf?

Grover Finds Pan

Summary of the Chapters

Percy went back to Camp Half-Blood and it was strange because the campers were making his funeral without him even dying. The half-bloods went to a cave were they could find Grover´s cap which told them that he was somewhere in the cave. They continued going through the cave and find a place where they could see a lot of different animals including Pan. Pan told to Grover that he was there waiting for him. After having a talk, Pan told Grover that he is not going to die because gods can´t die, but he was going to fade that is something similar to dying, but for gods. Grover reached to his achievement that he had planned for his whole life and find Pan, but now, he was going to fade.

Text References Analysis

"Grover fell to his knees in front of the bed. "Lord Pan!" The god smiled kindly, but there was sadness in his eyes. "Grover, my dear, brave satyr. I have waited a very long time for you.""
Grover is really admired and has a lot of respect for Pan. Pan answers to his respect by being nice to him.
""My lord," Grover said, "please, you must come back with me! The Elders will never believe it! They´ll be overjoyed! You can save the wild!""
Grover is asking Pan to go with him because the group of satyrs will not believe that he find Pan unless he brings the lord with him and they can see him physically.

Final Thoughts

I can tell from this book that was a really interesting one because of different reasons. One of those reasons can be that once again Luke and the titans wanted to make evil plans and cause damage to half-bloods and to the camp. I enjoyed reading this book and really it is not a big surprise since I have read the first three books before and found them all interesting. Not only for me, but for the characters, it was something good because Percy completed a new quest and Grover will be a great satyr for history because he was the only one that could find the god Pan. I like Percy Jackson books and this one was not the exception so I am willing to read the fifth one which is: Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian.

Trust Geryon? Or not?

Summary of the Chapters

Percy now knows that Luke is informed about the quest that the half-bloods are having to prevent Kronos and his allies entering to Camp Half-Blood using the Labyrinth´s entrance that is inside the camp. Percy was forced by Geryon to take care of a stable if he does not want to be sold to Kronos and all of the Titans. He realized that those horses were not really as friendly such as Blackjack or the hippocampi and instead, they wanted to attack him. Percy cleaned and protected the stable, but Geryon did not wanted to let the half-blood free, so they had a fight and at the end, Percy killed Geryon.

Text References Analysis

"His face turned a sickly shade of green. He collapsed to his knees and began crumbling into sand, until all that was left were three cooking aprons and an oversized pair of cowboy boots."
Percy and Geryon fought because of the monster not wanting to complete his part of the deal. The deal consisted in: Percy cleaning and taking care of the stable and Geryon letting him free and don´t sell him to the monsters.
""How long will it take Geryon to re-form?" I asked him. Eurytion shrugged. "Hundred years? He´s not one of those fast re-formers, thank the gods.""
Luckily for everyone, Geryon takes a long time to re-form and he will not bother any more for a long time.

Final Thoughts

If you make a deal with another person, it is really important that both members do what they are supposed to. In this case, Percy completed his part, but Geryon not so that caused Percy to get angry and kill the monster. If someone doesn´t do what he should do in a deal, that will cause anger in the other person like in this scenario that Percy´s anger was so big that he decided to fight and kill Geryon. Having a person in which you can trust is probably one of the important and most valuable things in a person´s life.

We Have a New Quest!

Annabeth and Percy lost this race because some scorpions were going to attack them, but they went back safely to Camp Half-Blood. They find that there was a hole at the camp and discovered that it was an entrance to the Labyrinth in which Theseus killed the Minotaur. Luke, Kronos, and the bad guys had a free entrance to destroy the camp if they figure out how to navigate inside the Labyrinth. They had a new quest that consisted in finding Daedalus and asking him for help so Luke and his allies can´t arrive to the camp. Annabeth is encharged of this quest and will ask Percy, Tyson, and Grover for help. Part of the Oracle´s prophecy was that they will find someone that is lost and Grover thinks that one is Pan so he will not lose his final opportunity to be the important satyr who had find Pan.

""We need to go in," Annabeth announced. We have to find the workshop before Luke does. If Daedalus is alive, we convince him to help us, not Luke.""
There is a need to find Daedalus so that the camp can be safe from the allies of Luke and the titan Kronos.
""Wait a second," I said. "If we´re worried about an attack, why not just blow up the entrance? Seal the tunnel?" "Great idea!" Grover said. "I´ll get the dinamite!" "It´s not so easy, stupid," Clarisse growled. "We tried that at the entrance we found in Phoenix. It didn´t go well."
At first, blowing up the entrance seemed like a great idea, but you can´t just blow up magical architecture because terrible things may happen if someone does that.

Annabeth and Percy once again had to fight against something, in this case the scorpions. There is another quest, but now Annabeth will be the leader of it. This time the quest may have more danger than the other ones because there is magical architecture, the Labyrinth is so big that someone might get lost, and according to the prophecy, there will be death. Will Annabeth complete this quest and stay alive?

Returning to Half-Blood Hill

After the disaster at Goode High School, Annabeth and Percy took a taxi back to Camp Half-Blood. Dionysus was out so a man named Quinton was training swordsman and he had an enormous hellhound as a pet. At Camp Half-Blood was Grover with a lot of old satyrs who were talking about the search of Pan and they will give Grover one week to find him. Tyson told Percy that there are a lot of monsters and titans trying to attack Poseidon under the sea, but the god wants them out of danger in the camp. On the other side, ina dream, Percy saw that Nico di Angelo is alive, he wants his sister back, and he may have a revenge against someone in order to complete his objective.

"I stared at him. Tyson had faced down fire-breathing bulls and sea monsters and cannibal giants. "Why would you be scared of Grover?" "Hooves and horns," Tyson muttered nervously. "And goat fur makes my nose itchy."" Tyson explained to Percy that he has been under the sea and fight a lot of monsters and titans that want to kill Poseidon; Percy does not understand how can the cyclops be afraid from Grover who is a friendly satyr.
"Annabeth had always admired Luke, the former head counselor for Hermes who had betrayed us and joined the evil Titan Lord Kronos." Hermes was in the side of the gods, but now he had betrayed them and will help the Titan Kronos to kill them and have the control of Mount Olympus again after a lot of time.

Percy is having problems again and also, strange things are happening in Camp Half-Blood. Finding a half-blood such as Quinton with a big hellhound as a pet is not something normal nor finding an old half-blood. The gods, also are having problems and changes because Hermes changed to the evil side and Poseidon is trying to avoid monsters that want to kill him. Percy was told in dreams that Nico di Angelo was going to get back his sister through a revenge. If Nico is going to take revenge, who will be the affected?

New School New Problems New Monster

Percy Jackson is arriving to a new school called Goode High School  and here is where Paul Blofis (Percy mother´s boyfriend) works. When arriving there, Percy finds Rachel, who is a girl that he have seen before, and two Cheerleaders that seem strange to him. The Cheerleaders were empousas which are monsters that in these case, were sent there by Kronos in order to fight and kill him. Percy will kill those beasts and also cause a fire on the school because of the explosion that occured when he killed the monsters. Annabeth will go to the school and take Percy out of there, Rachel will stay to explain everything to the director and defend Percy.

"Just before the celestial bronze hit her, Kelli exploded into flames like a Molotov cocktail. Waves of fire splashed over everything." Percy killed the empousa, but the explosion will burn the school and may take Percy some problems.
""I´ll make up some story," Rachel said. "I´ll tell them it wasn´t your fault. Just go!"" Rachel is going to save Percy from the problems, but she want to know more about half-bloods in exchange of defending him.

To every school to which Percy attends, he founds monsters and gets in trouble because of fighting them. He never finished a school year because he will be kicked out before the end of it. In this case it was a little different from other times because this happened before starting the school year and he escaped instead of being kicked out from the school. In these school, he only find more problems and another fight with another monster.
