Book report The Mark of AthenaHafeleni HamunyelaJanuary 14 2014The Mark of Athena, a fantasy book with one of the best selling authors, Rick Riordan. This book continues from the “Son of Neptune” in the “Heroes of Olympus” series after the “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” series. The Mark of Athena is a book which has to do with Greek and Roman Mythology. Hazel, Frank, Annebeth,Percy,Jason, Piper and Leo, the prophecy of seven, where sent on a quest to defeat the twin giants, Otis and Ephialtes. Who are the sons of Gaea, an evil goddess (known as mother earth,) who can wake up and soon destroy the world. This story relates to the story when Gaea “killed” her husband and ruled with her kids, the giants. Then later on, she has a child named Kronos who gave birth to the gods of Olympus, Zeus, Poseidon, Hades etc. The story ends when the gods of Olympus make her sleep because she is too evil and powerful, and later on defeat the giants. How the Mark of Athena relates to this story is because the seven demigods have to destroy Gaea and her children in modern day. The Mark of Athena shows a theme of challenges. The story begins when the demigods from “Camp Half Blood,” a camp for Greek demigods go meat “Camp Jupiter,” a Roman camp. These two camps don't get along and they need to, in order to defeat Gaea. However, problems begging to happen when a demigod from “Camp Half Blood,” Leo Valdez possessed by eidolens decides to take the ship away and destroy some of the camp, this caused Romans to hate them even more which was Gaea's plan. But that's not even the best part, the twin giants have captured Nico, the seven demigods need to save Nico Di Angelo, Hazel Levesque's brother or else he will die in 7 days. Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena has to go through a challenging quest by following the Mark of Athena a quest where none of the children of Athena have succeeded, but have gone through painful deaths. Her challenge is to return her mom's statue to camp which was captured by Arachne, Athena's worst enemy. I think Rick Riordan did a good job in the book by teaching the readers some Greek myths as they run into people. However, I think Rick Riordan should of worked more on creating more battles in the book which kind of disappointed me. This story is interesting and it has more then one narrator. I recommend this book to people at any age who love fantasy books or finished reading the Son of Neptune. I strongly believe this book is much more interesting then Twilight and Harry Potter. My second recommendation is to advice people to read The House of Hades once you are finished with the Mark of Athena. The Mark of Athena ends with a cliff hanger which would make you eager to read the next book. The Mark of Athena is an exciting, romantic book.

A new prophecy leads to a dangerous quest. When Percy receives an urgent distress call from 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, only 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. Now, Percy and his friends are faced with their most dangerous challenge-the chilling prophecy of the Titan's Curse. They must rescue the goddess Artemis by the Winter Solstice, or all will be lost including Annabeth. Rick Riordan's internationally best-selling "The Titan's Curse" becomes a graphic novel in the hands of comic-book luminaries Robert Venditti, Attila Futaki, and Gregory Guilhaumond.

It's the race of their lives . . . and one misstep will mean certain death for the hostages.

Magic, monsters, and mayhem abound when Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase meet Carter and Sadie Kane for the first time. Weird creatures are appearing in unexpected places, and the demigods and magicians have to team up to take them down. As they battle with Celestial Bronze and glowing hieroglyphs, the four heroes find that they have a lot in common--and more power than they ever thought possible.

Book one of The 39 Clues: The Maze of Bones, by author Rick Riordan, is an exciting young readers adventure book that will leave you sitting on the edge of your seat; your toilet seat. That's because the only place worth reading this book is while you've got a few minutes of privacy on the porcelain throne.Amy and Dan Cahill are typical squabbling siblings who believe one another are the most annoying brother and sister in the world. However, that all changes when they get summoned to their mega-rich grandma Grace's funeral, along with the rest of the extended Cahill family. After the funeral they are all presented with a strange challenge from Grace given through her lawyer. They are offered the choice of either one million dollars or a clue to a riddle that the fate of the world depends on the Cahills solving. Amy and Dan reluctantly accept the clue, forgoing the million dollars, along with most of their relatives. This clue leads them on a wild adventure to many mysterious locations teeming with danger in an attempt to beat their rival relatives to the finish line.And this book had me thinking about its finish line the whole time. Riordan and Scholastic, the publishers, have done an amazing job at pumping out a mass-marketed piece of crap. These are some of the shallowest, most meaningless characters I have ever read about. This book is nothing more than a horrifically written kids' version of the National Treasure films. The only credit I'll give this book at all is that it seems my students, for the most part, really liked it. It is certainly written for a kid's mentality. However, I've read many young readers books that are still extremely well written and appealing to adults as well as kids, so this simply doesn't pass the grade.

"Magnus Chase, you nearly started Ragnarok. What are you going to do next?"It's been six weeks since Magnus and his friends returned from defeating Fenris Wolf and the fire giants.

His days have settled into a new kind of normal.But Magnus should have known there's no such thing as normal in the Nine Worlds. His friends Hearthstone and Blitzen have disappeared. A new hallmate is creating chaos. According to a very nervous goat, a certain object belonging to Thor is still missing, and the thunder god's enemies will stop at nothing to gain control of it.Time to summon Jack, the Sword of Summer, and take action. Too bad the only action Jack seems to be interested in is dates with other magical weapons. . . .

The explosive finale to the #1 bestselling series! Fourteen-year-old Amy Cahill and her younger brother, Dan, have had enough. Not only do they have to find the 39 Clues first, they're expected to reunite their backstabbing family - the same people who killed their parents.

Too bad there's a final, fatal secret the Madrigals haven't told them. A secret that could cost Amy and Dan - and the world - everything . . .
