About the Book
In his continuing quest to earn college recommendation letters from the gods, Percy has to pet sit the goddess Hecate's polecat and giant mastiff during Halloween week. What could go wrong?
Rick Riordan’s newest Percy Jackson adventure, Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Wrath of the Triple Goddess, is full of hilarious set pieces, a diverse cast of gods and monsters, and many other delightful tricks and treats.
Percy Jackson, now a high school senior, needs three recommendation letters from the Greek gods in order to get into New Rome University. He earned his first one by retrieving Ganymede’s chalice. Now the goddess Hecate has offered Percy another “opportunity”—all he has to do is pet sit her polecat, Gale, and mastiff, Hecuba, over Halloween week while she is away. Piece of cake, right?
Percy, Annabeth, and Grover settle into Hecate’s seemingly endless mansion and start getting acquainted with the fussy, terrifying animals. The trio has been warned not to touch anything, but while Percy and Annabeth are out at school, Grover can’t resist drinking a strawberry-flavored potion in the laboratory. It turns him into a giant frenzied goat, and after he rampages through the house, damaging everything in sight, and passes out, Gale and Hecuba escape. Now the friends have to find Hecate’s pets and somehow restore the house, all before Hecate gets back on Saturday. It’s going to take luck, demigod wiles, and some old and new friends to hunt down the animals and set things right again.
My Take on the Book
Rick Riordan delivers another entertaining adventure in his latest Percy Jackson installment. Now a high school senior, Percy faces the challenge of earning college recommendation letters from the gods, and his latest task is anything but simple—pet-sitting the goddess Hecate’s polecat and mastiff over Halloween. Chaos, of course, ensues.
Fans of the original series will love the familiar humor, sharp banter, and thrilling escapades. Percy’s friendship with Annabeth and Grover remains a central, heartwarming dynamic, and the modern references sprinkled throughout add fresh relevance to the tale.
The storyline is filled with delightful surprises, drawing on mythological themes while mixing in fun, contemporary elements. Though there are a few minor typos, they don’t detract from the overall charm. Perfect for both new and returning readers, this book is an enjoyable, lighthearted read that captures the magic of Percy’s world once again.
