The Titan's Curse (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #3)

by Rick Riordan

My mom seemed to relax a little. She thinks Annabeth is the most levelheaded demigod ever to hit eighth grade. She’s sure Annabeth often keeps me from getting killed. She’s right, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it.

Pick your favorite hair color, eye color, whatever. The goddess had that. When she smiled at me, just for a moment she looked a little like Annabeth. Then like this television actress I used to have a crush on in fifth grade. Then…well, you get the idea.

“There is always a way out for those clever enough to find it.”

I knew Annabeth’s dad was a professor of military history. She’d never mentioned he played with toy soldiers.
