Camp Half-Blood Confidential (Percy Jackson and the Olympians)

A complete guide to Camp Half-Blood, narrated by the world's greatest hero Percy Jackson. 
 
After watching the awful camp orientation video created by Apollo, Percy Jackson and his friends decide to write their own guide to Camp Half-Blood, for new demigods. They will answer all your questions, like 'What even is this place?' and 'Do I get to keep the T-shirt?' and share insider information about the divine cabins, the magical landmarks, and the training arenas.But it’s not all about the grounds. Despite what Apollo’s orientation video claims, campers do not always co-exist in peace and harmony. The camp is not run with superior efficiency. And prophecies do not flow forth with great regularity.Sprinkled throughout are stories from heroes who have called Camp Half-Blood home or just passed through on their way to places unknown. And, of course, divine words of wisdom from the god Apollo himself are included, because the demigod authors would prefer not to be struck down by him, thank you very much.

From the World of Percy Jackson: The Court of the Dead (The Nico Di Angelo Adventures)

A BRAND-NEW ADVENTURE FROM THE WORLD OF PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS 
 
From #1 best-selling author Rick Riordan and award-winning author Mark Oshiro comes a new adventure featuring two of the most popular characters from the world of Percy Jackson and the Olympians. 
 
It’s been three months since demigod boyfriends Nico di Angelo and Will Solace returned from Tartarus, and there hasn’t been a single quest for them in all that time. So, when Nico’s half sister Hazel asks them to come to Camp Jupiter to help with an ‘issue’, Nico shadow-jumps at the chance to do something. 
 
What Hazel didn’t tell the boys is that she’s providing a haven for a group of monsters who’ve escaped the Underworld! Apparently, during Nico and Will’s trip to the Underworld, they showed the monsters that they don’t have to be evil – that the monsters have options. 
 
But then the monsters start disappearing from the camp and it’s clear a dark force is at work – and Nico, Will and Hazel are shocked to find that they’re connected to it . . .

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Wrath of the Triple Goddess

THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER - OUT NOW IN PAPERBACK! 
 
THE ORIGINAL HERO. A BRAND-NEW ADVENTURE. 
 
Percy Jackson has saved the world multiple times – battling monsters, Titans, even death himself – so graduating high school should be a breeze, right? 
 
Wrong. Percy needs three recommendation letters from the gods before his final year in high school comes to an end. And one thing Percy knows, the gods on Mount Olympus don’t do anything for free. 
 
To secure his second letter, Percy and his friends Annabeth and Grover agree to a new quest – pet-sitting for the goddess Hecate while she’s away over Halloween. They just need to follow her simple rules: 
<ol><li>Look after the pets like their lives depend on it (because they do)</li><li>Don’t touch anything – especially Hecate’s magic potions!</li><li>See points 1 and 2</li></ol> 
But when Grover’s curiosity gets the better of him, the trio find themselves with a giant goat, a destroyed house, and Hecate’s (terrifying and potentially deadly) pets on the loose in New York City. 
 
Now the trio have twenty-four hours to find the pets and restore the mansion to order – or face the full fury of Hecate and her horrifying three-heads.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Chalice of the Gods

THE INSTANT NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER 
 
The original hero. A brand-new adventure. 
 
Percy Jackson has saved the world multiple times - battling monsters, Titans, even giants - but these days the modern-day son of Poseidon is hoping for a regular final year at school. 
 
Too bad the Greek gods have other plans, and three new quests for Percy to complete. 
 
First up: the cupbearer of the gods, Ganymede, is missing his golden chalice. Not only is this embarrassing (why do the gods keep losing their magical items?), it's also potentially disastrous. One sip from the cup will turn any mortal into a powerful god. And the old gods do not take kindly to newbies. 
 
Can Percy and his friends Annabeth and Grover find the chalice before it falls into the wrong hands? And even if they do, will they be able to resist its awesome power. . .? 
 
Readers new to the Percy Jackson universe and long-time fans will love this epic adventure - full of legendary heroes, mythical creatures, ancient Greek gods and enduring friendship - from the global bestseller Rick Riordan.
