Our Review

Percy Jackson returns for another mythological misadventure, this time navigating the treacherous waters of college applications while babysitting divine pets for the goddess Hecate. As a high school senior desperate for recommendation letters to secure his spot at New Rome University, Percy finds himself responsible for a polecat and mastiff whose supernatural antics threaten to derail his academic future during the chaotic Halloween season. The premise delivers exactly what longtime fans expect from this beloved series—modern teen problems colliding with ancient Greek mythology in ways that are both absurd and utterly compelling.

Riordan masterfully blends laugh-out-loud scenarios with genuine stakes, creating a story that feels both fresh and familiar to readers who've grown up alongside Percy. The Halloween setting provides the perfect backdrop for mythological mayhem, allowing for creative monster encounters and godly interventions that showcase Percy's signature wit and resilience. This installment will particularly resonate with older teens facing their own college application anxieties, making the supernatural challenges metaphorically parallel real-world pressures. Longtime fans and newcomers alike will find themselves thoroughly invested in whether Percy can survive this divine pet-sitting disaster with his recommendation letters—and dignity—intact.
