Another Character Comes to the Story

Summary of this week's chapters

This are the last chapters of our amazing book! At first, Annabeth, Grover, and Clarisse got to the ship and Tyson and Percy were holding Polyphemus back. Clarisse insulted Polyphemus so he sank the ship. Tyson called over Rainbow (the hippocampus) and his friend so they took Percy and his team out of Polyphemus Island. The hippocampus only could go a little bit near Miami Beach. They thanked the hippocampus and swimmed to shore. The checked the newspaper and they were 10 days away from camp so they thought Thalia's trees was almost dying. They had to go fast so they paid Clarisse an airplane ticket back to camp so she would get faster and save the tree. After they send Clarisse in a plane, they turned around and found Luke again. Luke's guards got Percy and his team to Princess Andromeda. Luke asked for the fleece but obviously they didn't have it. He found out Clarisse had it and was already handing it to camp so he was planning to go to the Miami airport. Percy made an iris message to make everyone at camp see that Luke was the one who poisoned Thalia's tree and that he was going to heal Kronos. This made Dionysus fire Tantalus and make Chiron return. Luke fought against Percy and he almost defeated Percy until Chiron and other centaurs came and took Percy and his team out of Princess Andromeda and back to camp. Chiron talked to Percy about his prophecy. He said that he wasn't sure that he was the one of the prophecy but if he was that he should be prepared to fight and maybe defeat Kronos. Chiron also admitted that he is Kronos' son. When they arrived at camp, they heard the fleece was working well on the tree but that it needed some time until it was fully okay. There was guardians who patrolled the tree. Clarisse was thanked a lot since it was her quest and Percy and the other ones not much but they didn't cared much. Percy saw Hermes and he said that he couldn't make Luke realize he was bad but Hermes said it was okay and he just tried to tell Percy how much the gods love their childrens. Percy received a letter of Poseidon saying "Brace yourself." They had a chariot race but Tyson didn't participate on this one. He told Percy he asked Poseidon for a friend which was Percy they had a nice moment together before the race started. Percy and Annabeth won the chariot race. Grover was staying all summer and was later going again for his quest to search Pan. Percy was not guilty of any damage he made the school at the start but he was still expelled. Percy's mom called, she first was angry with Percy for escaping out of camp but then she was glad he was safe and okay. She said they would find another school for him next year. Then, Percy talked to Tyson and he said that Poseidon had got him an internship to work with Cyclops on his underwater palace. On the night, Percy still had those dreams about Kronos and he also had a dream about Polyphemus sitting on his cave. Grover woke Percy up and said something about Annabeth that was lying there on Thalia's tree. Everyone went to the hill were Thalia's tree was and they were shocked and cursed Kronos because he tricked them again. The fleece was so powerful it just didn't healed the tree. On the tree there was a girl with Greek armor and Percy got near her. She was lying beside Annabeth. Percy told everyone to go and get some nectar and ambrosia which would heal her but everyone stood there shocked. The girl waked up feeling really bad like if she was dying. Percy told her everything was okay and asked her her name. She said "I'm Thalia, daughter of Zeus.'" (Page 279). Everyone was shocked. Then Percy realized it was a trick from Kronos, he brought Thalia back and changed the prophecy.

Important quotes

"Families are messy. Immortal Families are eternally messy. Sometimes the best we can do is to remind each other that we're related, for better or worse..." (Page 258). 
I agree with what the author say here. I think in some way he is trying to teach us that families may not be the best but we have to be there always for each other. I think this is a really nice quote. This made me reflect a lot of what families are for. It also made me realize how big and important families support is. 
"I'll admit, I felt a little jealous." (Page 273)
I kind of feel good about Tyson but a little bad for Percy. I feel good for Tyson because this is a big and great opportunity. I feel a little bad for Percy because Poseidon has never given Percy something like that. The good thing is Percy also feels very good for Tyson and proud.

Final Thoughts  

I really enjoyed this book a lot. I learned a lot from this book. Most of all I learned about the importance of family and friends. I really like Percy's adventures. I do recommend this book to other people who like adventures like me. I got really hooked to the book.
