The Lovereading comment:
It's the last Friday before the winter holidays but Percy Jackson isn't at school: he's battling the fearsome Manticore (half human, half lion), which in itself isn't ideal ...but with Annabeth missing and the goddess of the hunt held captive, things get a whole lot more serious... This is Greek mythology relocated to modern-day America. This book presents action-packed, funny, accessible writing for both boys and girls aged 10+. It is perfect for fans of Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl .

Reviews
Praise for The Titan's Curse, and other books in the Percy Jackson series: 'Witty and inspired. Gripping, touching and deliciously satirical...This is most likely to succeed Rowling. Puffin is on to a winner
Amanda Craig, The Times
'Funny and fast-paced ... Percy is a hero that every kid will want to emulate'
Sunday Express
'Funny ... very exciting ... but it's the storytelling that will get readers hooked. After all, this is the stuff of legends'
Guardian
'One of the books of the year ... vastly entertaining'
Independent
'Cool, mad and very funny!'
