Percy Jackson i els herois grecs (Percy Jackson #Volumen)
by Rick RiordanDesprés d'explicar-nos les històries més emocionants dels déus grecs... Qui millor que un fill de Posidó per apropar-nos al món dels herois de l'Antiga Grècia? Acompanya a en Percy Jackson en aquesta apassionant aventura. Si vols saber qui va tallar el cap de la Medusa o quina heroïna va ser criada per una osa, aquest és el llibre que has de consultar. Ningú millor que un fill de Posidó com Percy, que ha sobreviscut a un fotimer d'enfrontaments amb éssers i criatures mitològiques, per narrar les increïbles gestes de Perseu, Atalanta, Bel·lerofont o Hèrcules, per citar només alguns dels molts personatges èpics que hi ha entre aquestes pàgines. Així que en Percy ens empeny a acompanyar-lo en aquesta aventura amb la següent proposta: «Retrocedirem en el temps uns quatre mil anys per decapitar monstres, salvar algun que altre regne, disparar a uns quants déus al cul, saquejar elsinferns i robar a gent molt dolenta. Preparats? Perfecte. Som-hi!»
Percy Jackson y el cáliz de los dioses (Percy Jackson y los dioses del Olimpo #Volumen 6)
by Rick RiordanVuelve Percy Jackson, el protagonista estrella de Rick Riordan Por una vez, Percy Jackson no debe preocuparse por salvar el mundo. En esta ocasión tiene una tarea mucho más difícil: entrar en la universidad. La Universidad de Nueva Roma pide cartas de recomendación de tres dioses para acceder, así que... sí: Percy tendrá que llevar a cabo nuevas misiones para conseguirlas. Primera misión: el copero de los dioses, Ganimedes, ha perdido su cáliz, lo cual no sólo es vergonzoso, sino que podría provocar un desastre, ya que cualquier mortal que beba del cáliz obtendrá la inmortalidad. Percy, Annabeth y Grover deben encontrar el cáliz y devolvérselo a Ganimedes antes de que alguien se entere de lo sucedido. Estos dioses... podrían ponerles un GPS a sus objetos mágicos, ¿no?

Y su expectativa se cumplirá con creces. Aunque el nuevo curso en la Escuela Meriwether transcurre con inusual normalidad, un simple partido de balón prisionero acaba en batalla campal contra una banda de gigantes feroces. A partir de ahí, las cosas se precipitan... _________________ La maldición del titán Ante la llamada de socorro de su amigo el sátiro Grover, Percy acude inmediatamente en su auxilio. Y aunque va acompañado de Annabeth y Thalia, las dos semidiosas que son sus aliadas, ninguno imagina la sorpresa que los aguarda: una terrible mantícora pretende secuestrarlos y llevarlos ante el general enviado por Cronos, el diabólico señor de los titanes. Sin embargo, logran escapar y volver al campamento mestizo, dónde emprenderán la búsqueda del monstruo que puede provocar la destrucción del Olimpo, a pesar de que, según la profecía del Oráculo, sólo uno de ellos logrará resistir la maldición del titán. _________________ La batalla del laberinto Cronos, el malvado señor de los titanes, amenaza con destruir el Campamento Mestizo, donde se refugian los jóvenes semidioses.

El ejército de Cronos es ahora más formidable que nunca y, con cada dios y cada mestizo que logra reclutar, aumentan los poderes del maligno titán. Tras fracasar en un primer intento de detener en alta mar las arrolladoras tropas de Cronos, Percy Jackson y los olímpicos se esfuerzan por mantener a raya la furia desatada del monstruo Tifón. _________________

And yes, it's true that she never recovered from the drowning death of her older brother, Justin, ten years ago, when Arielle was a little child.

Worse yet, there's no one to tell: big sister Casey's off to college, and Arielle discovers her own sister's cache of secret writings, along with a bizarre note from Perdita. What's real? What's fantasy? In a compelling tale that hurtles toward a stunning conclusion, the imprint of grief and the boundaries of human imagination are stretched to their limits.

Her life is ordinary and safe, even if she sometimes does wonder about the ground and why it’s forbidden. Then a murder, the first in a generation, rocks the city. With whispers swirling and fear on the wind, Morgan can no longer stop herself from investigating, especially once she meets Judas. Betrothed to the victim, Judas is being blamed for the murder, but Morgan is convinced of his innocence.
