The Mark Of Athena By Rick Riordan

The title of my book is The Mark of Athena. The author of my book is Rick Riordan. The genre of my book is fantasy. I know this because there are mythical and talking creatures. The characters in my book are Percy, Frank, Hazel, Annabeth, Leo, Annabeth, Jason, and Piper. The character traits of Percy are that he is very heroic and strong. The character traits of Frank are that he is not very sure of him self and very paranoid of his health. Annabeth is very smart and heroic. Leo is very clumsy and smart. Jason is very strong and powerful. And Piper is very smart and easy going. The setting of this book is mostly at Camp Jupiter. Camp Jupiter is the Roman version of Camp Half-Blood and has many campers and a massive legion. The time period is around now because of all the modern technology that most of the campers have such as computers and phones.  To describe the other books in my series is that in the first book Percy finds out that he is a demi-god and his mother dies trying to get him to Camp Half-Blood. Percy kills the minotaur and takes his horn to show the others. He runs inside the camp to be safe. While hes there he finds out that his dad is actually Poseidon and that he can breathe underwater and also control it.  He finds out that Zeus is missing his master bolt and if he doesn't get it back hes going to declare war with the other gods and fight each other. If they do that then it will cause the end of the Greek culture. Percy goes to the underworld with his new friends Annabeth and Grover. He finds the bolt and returns it to Zeus before he can declare war. The other books all include Percy going on quests to do various missions most of them are very exciting and you should read them. For the second series of this book it starts with Jason waking up in a bus full of kids. Hes sitting next to Piper and Leo. They go to the grand canyon and get attacked by wind spirits. Jason and Piper fall of the railing and Jason catches Piper. This is when Jason finds out his father is Zeus and he can fly. The second book is about Percy, Hazel, and Frank finding the legions standard and fighting the giants army.
The summary of my book is that Annabeth is looking for the camp that Percy is at. They get on the Argo II and are able to fly to where they think Percy is. They eventually find the camp and hover over the venue. They fly their white flag to show peace and hopefully not get shot down. They have to put all of their weapons down or the god of borders will terminate them. Terminus is very worried and does not trust any of the Greek campers. They climb down the ladder and talk to Reyna. Reyna is the legions leader and runs the camp. She speaks with Annabeth and she agrees to have peace with them. All of a sudden an eidolon possesses Leo and he takes control over the billistae and shoots exploding,flaming arrows at the venue. Everyone thinks that Leo did it on purpose but it wasn't him. They find Percy and flee from the camp with two Roman campers. Frank and Hazel. They get away but now they have to find Hazels brother Nico. Will he survive the giants? Read the book to find out.

I really liked this book. This book is probably one of my favorite books in the series and is very suspenseful. I really like the genre of this book. Fantasy interest me and I love reading it. I have learned from this book that even though the times are rough you should never give up. In the book Annabeth thought shed never find Percy. Even though she wasn't herself anymore she never gave up and eventually found him. Some rateable characters I can relate to is Percy because I also enjoy boats and the water.
