Percy? Annabeth gripped his arm. Oh, bad, he muttered. Bad. Bad. He looked across the table at Frank and Hazel. You guys remember Polybotes? The giant who invaded Camp Jupiter, Hazel said. The anti-Poseidon you whacked in the head with a Terminus statue. Yes, I think I remember

You have to read a lot so you know what good writing looks like and you get inspired. You have to write a lot because it's like a sport - you have to practice. And, also, you have to persevere. Don't give up. I got rejected on my first book, like, 14 times, but I just kept going. So believe in yourself and don't give up.

I wasn't sure whether I was supposed to kneel or buy stamps from him or what.

Listen, Frank Zhang has moves. He's probably gonna turn into a kangaroo and do some marsupial jujitsu on their ugly faces.

All I could think of was that the teachers must've found the illegal stash of candy I'd been selling out of my dorms room. Or maybe they'd realized I got my Essay on Tom Sawyer from the Internet without ever reading the book and now they were going to take away my grade. Or worse, they were going to make me read the book.

He was beautiful the way an angel is beautiful - timeless, perfect, remote.

He'd changed since the last summer. Instead of Bermuda shorts and a T-shirt, he wore a button-down shirt, khaki pants, and leather loafers. His sandy hair, which used to be so unruly, was now clipped short. He look like an evil male model, showing off what the fashionable college-age villain was wearing to Harvard this year.

I guess it started in London, the night our dad blew up the British museum.

Amos clapped his hands. “Khufu!” I thought he’d sneezed, because Khufu is a weird name, but then a little dude about three feet tall with gold fur and a purple shirt came clambering down the stairs. It took me a second to realize it was a baboon wearing an L.A. Lakers jersey.

It’s hard to look in charge when you’re hunched over like Quasimodo.

Stars, she whispered. I can see the stars again, my lady. A tear trickled down Artemis's cheek. Yes, my brave one. They are beautiful tonight. Stars, Zoe repeated. Her eyes fixed on the night sky. And she did not move again.

She glared at me like she was about to punch me, but then she did something that surprised me even more. She kissed me. Be careful seaweed brain. She said putting on her invisible cap and disappearing. I probably would have sat there all day, trying to remember my name, but then the sea demons came.

I'm afraid not. Hades sighed. My son here convinced me that perhaps I should prioritize my list of enemies. He glared at me with distaste. As much as I dislike certain upstart demigods, it would not do for Olympus to fall. I would miss bickering with my siblings. And if there is one thing we agree on - it is that you were a TERRIBLE father
