The Battle of the Labyrinth - Rick Riordan Julia Bock

(341 Pages)

Percy Jackson is now a freshman at a new high school. At orientation though, he sees a girl named Rachel Dare, who has the ability to see through the mist (Met last book). Both rush out of the gym and they discuss how Percy is a demigod. During the conversation, they are interrupted by two cheerleaders, who are actually empousai in disguise. Percy manages to kill one of them, while the other potentially attacks a group of students. Percy swings Riptide at her, but she intercepts by causing a fire. Percy and Rachel run out of the school and make plans to go to Camp Half-Blood. On the way, they meet up with Annabeth Chase. They all go to camp together, though Annabeth is annoyed by the mortal girl hanging out with Percy. When they arrive at camp, Percy learns that his best friend, Grover is in trouble with the Council of Cloven Elders for believing that he believes that the Nature god, Pan, is alive in Mexico. Percy also meets up with his half-brother Tyson, as well as the new swords instructor, Quintus, who Percy and Chiron find hard to read. During one of Quintus's competitions, Annabeth and Clarisse stumble upon the entrance to the labyrinth. Both of them quickly come to the conclusion that Luke, a traitor to the camp who almost killed Percy, may use this to infiltrate. Annabeth, Percy, Tyson, and Grover are sent on a quest to close the labyrinth as well as search for Pan.
