It´s the last Friday before the winter holidays but Percy Jackson isn´t at school: he´s battling the fearsome Manticore (half human, half lion), which in itself isn´t ideal ...but with Annabeth missing and the goddess of the hunt held captive, things get a whole lot more serious ...This is Greek mythology relocated to modern-day America. This book presents action-packed, funny, accessible writing for both boys and girls aged 10+. It is perfect for fans of "Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl".

Percy Jackson and the Titan´s Curse is the third book in Rick Riordan´s bestselling fantasy adventure series.

Half Boy. Half God. ALL Hero.

It´s not every day you find yourself in combat with a half-lion, half-human.

But when you´re the son of a Greek God, it happens. And now my friend Annabeth is missing, a Goddess is in chains and only five half-blood heroes can join the quest to defeat the doomsday monster.

Oh and guess what. The Oracle has predicted that not all of us will survive . . .
