The Mark of Athena
By: Rick Riordan

The Mark of Athena is part of the Heroes of Olympus series. They are written by the author of the Percy Jackson series, Rick Riordan. It is the third book of the series. Rick Riordan writes a lot about mythology, espacially greek mythology which this series is based off of. Both the Percy Jackson and The Heroes of Olympus series have demigods; which are half human half god. Each book has a different story but each series has a bigger story. The series tell the stories of some of the demigods.
The Mark of Athena is about a group of good friends that are demigods. They Have teamed up to retrieve and ancient artifact from Rome. They have tons of obstacles to overcome from Hercules to Spiders. One demigod named Annabeth has a big obstacle. Her mother Athena the god of planning and wisdom. She asks of her daughter to retrieve something her mother lost to the romans. But her mother’s rival is protecting it and she is a biter.
This book was a page turner, it is one of Rick Riordan’s best. It is a great book for mythology lovers and book lovers. I like that it is fast pace, but it does sometimes gets confusing on who is talking. I would suggest this book to ten and up. All in all I think this is a great book.

Riordan has by-and-large laid off of the slapstick in this book (that thoroughly distracted me in the other Heroes of Olympus books). He really got down to business in this book; lots of character growth, personal revelation, action, adventure, and a respectable amount of time just getting more familiar with the characters. The ending annoyed me, but in a good "come on! What happens next?!" kind of way. ( )

A great read! Completely captures you as a reader and is pretty much impossible to put down. I cannot wait for the next book. ( )

Book description
Annabeth is terrified.
Just when she's about to be reunited with Percy =- after six months of being apart, thanks to Hera - it looks lIke Camp Jupiter is preparing for war.

As Annabeth and her friends Jason, Piper and Leo fly in on the Argo II, she can't blame the Roman demigods for thinking the ship is a Greek weapon. with its steaming bronze dragon figurehead, Leo's fantastical creation doesn't appear friendly. Annabeth hopes that the sight of their praetor Jason on deck will reassure the Romans that the visitors form Camp Half-Blood are coming in peace.

And that's only one of her worries. IN her pocket, Annabeth carries a gift form her mother that came from an unnerving command: Follow the Mark of Athena. Avenge me. Annabeth already feels weighted down by the prophecy that will send seven demigods on a quest to find - and close - the Doors of Death. What more does Athena want from her?

Annabeth's biggest fear, though, is that Percy may have changed. What if he's now attached to Roman ways? Does he still need his old friends? As the daughter of the goddess of war and wisdom, Annabeth knows she was born to be a leader - but never again does she want to be without Seaweed Brain by her side.

Narrated by four different Demigods, the Mark of Athena is an unforgettable journey across land and sea to Rome, where important discoveries, surprising sacrifices, and unspeakable horrors await. Climb aboard the Argo II, if you dare...

From jacket cover. Putting it back on, discovered there's a cut out of the Argos II under the back flap with instructions on how to build your very own Argos II.
