Product Description
When the goddess Artemis goes missing, she is believed to have been kidnapped.And now it's up to Percy and his friends to find out what happened. Who is powerful enough to kidnap a goddess? They must find Artemis before the winter solstice, when her influence on the Olympian Council could swing an important vote on the war with the titans. Not only that, but first Percy will have to solve the mystery of a rare monster that Artemis was hunting when she disappeared -- a monster rumored to be so powerful it could destroy Olympus forever.

 The Titan's Curse (Percy Jackson and the Olympians Book 3) September 29, 2008
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!
My Son Loves these Books September 15, 2008
and can't wait for the next one.
This is the first series he has ever really gotten into and enjoyed.
He flew through them and now is bummed because he has to wait for the next. He is 10 and in 5th grade.
The Titan's Curse September 6, 2008
This book is one in a series. I personally did not read the book, however, my son was not able to put the book down once he started reading.
Another EXCELLANT Book! September 2, 2008
I've read 1, 2 and now 3 and all are excellant. I can't wait to read the next book.
