Percy Jackson and the Olympians Book 7: Wrath of the Triple Goddess by Rick Riordan

 

Percy Jackson and the Olympians Book 7

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 mastiff, Hecuba, and her polecat, Gale, 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, Hecuba and Gale 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 Review: 5/5 Stars

It’s so nice to fall back into the Percy Jackson world. Filled with laughter, adventure, and lots of mythology. Percy has a new assignment to get his second recommendation letter in order to get into New Rome University. It’s Halloween time, so there is only one goddess who could make suggest a request. Hecate. The goddess of sorcery and witches, she has a special task for Percy. Pet sitting. Yep, the all powerful and terrifying guidance needs a house and petsitter while she travels around the world to celebrate her holiday. Should be easy enough to watch a hellhound and a polecat. But nothing is ever easy when Percy gets involved. Even with the help of Annabeth and Grover. When Hecuba and Gale escape while Percy and Annabeth are at school, they will all have to work together to find the missing pets before Hecate gets back. As always, I adore any Percy Jackson story. You will laugh the entire way through, learn lots of Greek mythology, and watch how far Percy has come since book one. He’s grown up a lot and it shows. There is something so special about this series that you just get sucked right into the story and won’t be able to put the book down until you are done. This was definitely a fun one of the series and perfect for the Halloween season!
