Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan, 312 pages, Juvenile fiction, Fantasy.
We finished reading this, the third volume in the Percy Jackson series, back in January. They're all good, and my two sons really like them. In this installment Percy and Annabeth team up with the daughter of Zeus, Thalia, who had formerly been a tree. The three of them rush to rescue two young half-bloods, who are living in Bar Harbor, Maine. Kronos, the Titan Lord of time, has a trap waiting for them and the young heroes must battle giant scorpions, they suffer a grievous loss and they must seek to destroy the Titan general. They join forces with Artemis, goddess of the Hunt, and are helped along the way by Apollo. Fun and filled with action, without being too scary. I don't know how children's librarians judge age appropriateness, but my seven-year-old loves these.
