Product Description
When the goddess Artemis goes missing, she is believed to have been kidnapped. And now it's up to Percy and his friends to find out what happened. Who is powerful enough to kidnap a goddess? They must find Artemis before the winter solstice, when her influence on the Olympian Council could swing an important vote on the war with the titans. Not only that, but first Percy will have to solve the mystery of a rare monster that Artemis was hunting when she disappeared-a monster rumored to be so powerful it could destroy Olympus forever.

 The Titan's Curse January 6, 2009
this was purchased for my 11 year old granddaughter as a Christmas present. As she is reading the series she was delighted in receiving it as one of her books.
I was pleased with the service, delivery time and price.
 The Titan's Curse December 21, 2008
These books provide a fun and adventure-filled introduction to the old myths for younger (3rd-grade-ish) children. My son, who loves mythology, has enjoyed these books tremendously as I've read them to him. The books are fast-paced, clever, and vivid. They subtly highlight the broad grey area between good and evil and raise important questions about righteousness. *Note: they are VERY violent.
Great book even for reluctant readers! December 21, 2008
I am a fifth grade teacher and I have several boys that never want to read. When I read The Lightning Thief and then talked about it to my students, the boys were hooked! They have been reading this series like maniacs and now beg for silent reading time so they can figure out what Percy Jackson is up to next. Most of them have also become hooked on Greek and Roman mythology! This series is fast paced, and adventurous with sympathetic characters that kids like and can relate to!
The Titan's Cure Book Review December 17, 2008
The Titan's Curse By: Rick Roirdan
When I read the Titans Curse , it felt like I was in the story and having a lesson in Greek mythology, just as I felt during the first two books in this series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians. This book makes you feel as if you were at a summer camp, going on adventures with your best friends. The book takes you to many places such as Camp Half-Blood, and many large cities found in the U.S. I like this book because of the action and adventure. Also, you can learn a lot from this book such as about ancient Greek myths. For Example, these books talk a lot about Greek gods, monsters, and more.
This book, The Titan's Curse and the other books in this popular series is for young teens. This is because of the adventures that the characters go on and the ages of these characters (about 12 to 14). You may think that you need to know about myths in order to understand this book, but you don't because everything is explained for you. Also, the audience will not change while reading The Titan's Curse. The genre of this book is fiction even though the myths told are real.
The start of this story takes place in a dark castle-like place with Percy, Annabeth, and Thalia, three friends who are half-bloods or a son or daughter of Greek gods. Soon after they arrive you find out that this castle like place is a boarding school. If you have read the first two books in this series, you know that Percy's best friend Grove is a satyr or half man half goat and that all satyrs find and capture all half-bloods to send them to a training camp called camp half-blood. Percy and his friends are helping Grover capture two half-bloods named Nico and Bianca di Angelo. Once the capture these siblings the group has to fight a Greek monster in order to get out of the building. When doing this three things happen... First, the di Angelos find out that they are half-bloods. Second, Percy and Thalia push the monster over a cliff to get rid of but find out that the monster took Annabeth with him. Finally, Bianca makes a decision that will affect her for the rest of her life.
I think this book is like an informational book. There is so much information about Greek myths such as the different gods that you can learn a lot. The Titan's Curse is very similar to the first two books in this series that you would want to read those books first. I also think that this book is similar to Harry Potter because Harry goes on adventures with his friends and fights monsters just as Percy does.
One strength that this book has is that it has great descriptions. These descriptions make you feel as if you are in the places that the character, Percy describes such as Camp Half-Blood. Another strength of this book is that the author makes you want to keep reading. You will never want to put this book down. The only problem I had with this book was that at the end of each book a new problem starts that makes you want to buy the next book.
In conclusion, I love this book and the rest of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. I think that even if you do not like myths, like I did you should still read this book because you will enjoy it. Each page is trilling and exciting and you won't want to put it down!
Great December 12, 2008
The entire Percy Jackson series is just the greatest. The story is true to the mythlogical legends & is great for young & the older readers. I am amazed how the characters can be looked up online & read more about.
