THE ORIGINAL HERO. A BRAND-NEW ADVENTURE.

Percy Jackson has saved the world multiple times – battling monsters, Titans, even death himself – so graduating high school should be a breeze, right?

Wrong. Percy needs three recommendation letters from the gods before his final year in high school comes to an end. And one thing Percy knows, the gods on Mount Olympus don’t do anything for free.

To secure his second letter, Percy and his friends Annabeth and Grover agree to a new quest – pet-sitting for the goddess Hecate while she’s away over Halloween. They just need to follow her simple rules:

• Look after the pets like their lives depend on it (because they do)
• Don’t touch anything – especially Hecate’s magic potions!
• See points 1 and 2

Wilson expects this town to be as boring as all the others until she discovers a secret - a wonderful and extraordinary secret that must stay hidden. But someone sinister is lurking in the shadows, determined to get revenge. Suddenly danger is much closer than Wilson ever thought possible...

Veral nie wanneer Tomas en sy vriende soveel pret het saam met hulle drake Flikker, Son, Vrieska en Sluiper nie, nie as hulle nog moet uitwerk waar die drake vandaan kom en hoe om hulle weer terug by hulle huis te kry nie, en nie as Tomas op die nippertjie is om die storie agter die geheimsinnige draakvrugboom uit te pluis nie!
