Not only do they discover that they are the offspring of ancient gods, but they also learn that they are three of seven demigods mentioned in the Great Prophecy uttered by Rachel in The Last Olympian. Wasting little time acclimating to their new lives, the three embark upon a quest to preserve Mt. Olympus and the divine status quo, by rescuing an erstwhile enemy. Rotating among his three protagonists, Riordan's storytelling is as polished as ever, brimming with wit, action, and heart--his devotees won't be disappointed.-- PW brand: Disney Publishing Worldwide ISBN-10: 142311339X LC Classification Number: PZ7.R4829Los 2010 Publication Year: 2010 Series Volume Number: 1 Item Width: 5.8 in LCCN: 2010-015469 Intended Audience: Juvenile Audience Topic: Legends, Myths, Fables / General, Legends, Myths, Fables / Greek & Roman, Fantasy & Magic, Action & Adventure / General, Sports & Recreation / Camping & Outdoor Activities, Monsters, General gtin13: 9781423113393
