Book of Interest: Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Wrath of the Triple Goddess

Even though I haven't read the sixth Percy Jackson and the Olympians book, The Chalice of the Gods (it is sitting on my book shelf), I have already pre-ordered the seventh book, Wrath of the Triple Goddess. I love reading these Percy Jackson books they are such a fun read.

Based on the description for both books, Percy is going through a lot to get his recommendation letters. I can only imagine what he will have to go through to get the final letter. I'm guessing there will be an eighth book, unless Percy already got two letters in the last book, The Chalice of the Gods. Since I haven't read it yet, I don't know what happens in that story.

Anyway, I pre-ordered Wrath of the Triple Goddess and I can't wait to read both books.


Book: Wrath of the Triple Goddess (Percy Jackson and the Olympians book #7) by Rick Riordan

Publication: September 24, 2024

Description:

In his continuing quest to earn college recommendation letters from the gods, Percy has to pet sit the goddess Hecate's polecat and giant mastiff during Halloween week. What could go wrong?

Rick Riordan’s newest Percy Jackson adventure is full of hilarious set pieces, a diverse cast of gods and monsters, and many other delightful tricks and treats.

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 polecat, Gale, and mastiff, Hecuba, 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, Gale and Hecuba 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.
