BOOK NAME: The Mark of Athena
AUTHOR: Rick Riordan

Hi readers!  I am reporting to you about Rick Riordan’s new book, The Mark of Athena.  It’s book three in the Heroes of Olympus series.  I couldn’t wait for this book to come out because as you probably know by now, I think Rick Riordan rocks!  Well, The Mark of Athena was worth the wait!

In the book, Jason, Percy and the five other questers meet at the Roman camp.  Then all of the sudden, Leo attacks the camp with the ship’s weaponry!  The demigods barely make it out and are immediately on their quest.  Leo is definitely my favorite character.  He’s really funny and messes around, but when it’s time to work, he WORKS HARD!  I like that about him.

This is my favorite book in the series so far because the Greeks and Romans FINALLY meet.  This puts a lot of tension in the story; you never know when a betrayal will happen.  Talk about suspense!  Also, there are a lot of new monsters in the story.  Some are comical characters and others are downright nasty!  Even if you haven’t been following the series, the way Rick Riordan develops his characters is a really good reason for trying this book.  You won’t be disappointed.

Until next time, folks!
