In his continuing quest to earn college recommendation letters from the gods, Percy has to pet sit the goddess Hecate’s polecat and giant mastiff during Halloween week. What could go wrong? Rick Riordan’s newest Percy Jackson adventure is full of hilarious set pieces, a diverse cast of gods and monsters, and many other delightful tricks and treats. Percy Jackson, now a high school senior, needs three recommendation letters from the Greek gods in order to get into New Rome University. He earned his first one by retrieving Ganymede’s chalice. Now the goddess Hecate has offered Percy another “opportunity”—all he has to do is pet sit her polecat, Gale, and mastiff, Hecuba, over Halloween week while she is away. Piece of cake, right? Percy, Annabeth, and Grover settle into Hecate’s seemingly endless mansion and start getting acquainted with the fussy, terrifying animals. The trio has been warned not to touch anything, but while Percy and Annabeth are out at school, Grover can’t resist drinking a strawberry-flavored potion in the laboratory. It turns him into a giant frenzied goat, and after he rampages through the house, damaging everything in sight, and passes out, Gale and Hecuba escape. Now the friends have to find Hecate’s pets and somehow restore the house, all before Hecate gets back on Saturday. It’s going to take luck, demigod wiles, and some old and new friends to hunt down the animals and set things right again.

A companion guide to THE TRIALS OF APOLLO series, set in the world of PERCY JACKSON. Camp Half-Blood FYI is the funny insider’s guide to the demigod training camp in Long Island, narrated by none other than Percy Jackson himself, and other favourite characters will be heard from, too. In response to an awful camp orientation video created by the god Apollo, Percy Jackson and other residents of Camp Half-Blood answer such questions as “What is this place?” and “Do I get to keep the T-shirt?” Newbies can check out the section on the Divine Cabins, read up on Magical Landmarks, and consult the chapter of Training Arenas. But Camp Half-Blood Confidential explores much more than just the buildings and grounds. It includes info that can only be learned from those who live there. For instance, campers do not always co-exist in peace and harmony. The camp is not run with superior efficiency. Prophecies do not flow forth with great regularity. Sprinkled throughout are stories from heroes who have called Camp Half-Blood home or just passed through on their way to places unknown. Chiron himself introduces the book with a brief history of training based on his millennia of experience. And, of course, divine words of wisdom from the god Apollo himself are included, because the demigod authors would prefer not to be struck down by him, thank you very much.

The only way Apollo can reclaim his rightful place on Mount Olympus is by restoring several Oracles that have gone dark. What is affecting the Oracles, and how can Apollo/Lester do anything about them without his powers? After experiencing a series of dangerous–and frankly, humiliating–trials at Camp Half-Blood, Lester must now leave the relative safety of the demigod training ground and embark on a hair-raising journey across North America. Fortunately, what he lacks in godly graces he’s gaining in new friendships–with heroes who will be very familiar to fans of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Heroes of Olympus series. Come along for what promises to be a harrowing, hilarious, and haiku-filled ride. . . .

“My name is Magnus Chase. Two months ago I died fighting a Fire Giant and woke up in Hotel Valhalla as one of Odin’s warriors. Time for a rest? I wish. When I meet Otis, an informant with a lead on Thor’s missing hammer, all I get is the name ‘Provincetown’ before a wolf-masked assassin takes him out and warns me to stay away. Someone really doesn’t want me to find the hammer, and even if I could it’s rumoured to be underground, guarded by powerful magic. But the giant armies are on the move, preparing to invade. If I don’t find it, they’ll ravage the Nine Worlds, starting with the streets of Boston. There’s just one person who could help. Someone who demands a very high price- the gods’ worst enemy, Loki.”

I’m orphaned and living rough on the streets of Boston. And things are about to get much worse. My day started out normally enough. I was sleeping under a bridge when some guy kicked me awake and said, ‘They’re after you.’ Next thing I know, I’m reunited with my obnoxious uncle, who casually informs me that my long-lost father is a Norse god. Nothing normal about that. And it turns out the gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Apparently, if I can’t find the sword my father lost two thousand years ago, there will be doom. Doomsday, to be precise. A fire giant attacking the city? Immortal warriors hacking each other to pieces? Unkillable wolves with glowing eyes? It’s all coming up. But first I’m going to die.

Though the Greek and Roman crewmembers of the Argo II have made progress in their many quests, they still seem no closer to defeating the earth mother, Gaea. Her giants have risen—all of them, and they’re stronger than ever. They must be stopped before the Feast of Spes, when Gaea plans to have two demigods sacrificed in Athens. She needs their blood—the blood of Olympus—in order to wake. The demigods are having more frequent visions of a terrible battle at Camp Half-Blood. The Roman legion from Camp Jupiter, led by Octavian, is almost within striking distance. Though it is tempting to take the Athena Parthenos to Athens to use as a secret weapon, the friends know that the huge statue belongs back on Long Island, where it might be able to stop a war between the two camps. The Athena Parthenos will go west; the Argo II will go east. The gods, still suffering from multiple personality disorder, are useless. How can a handful of young demigods hope to persevere against Gaea’s army of powerful giants? As dangerous as it is to head to Athens, they have no other option. They have sacrificed too much already. And if Gaea wakes, it is game over.

Look, I didn’t want to be a half-blood. I never asked to be the son of a Greek god. I was just a normal kid, going to school, playing basketball, skateboarding. The usual. Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher. That’s when things started really going wrong. Now I spend my time fighting with swords, battling monsters with my friends and generally trying to stay alive. This is the one where Zeus, God of the Sky, thinks I’ve stolen his lightning bolt – and making Zeus angry is a very bad idea. Can Percy find the lightning bolt before a fully fledged WAR OF THE GODS ERUPTS?

Apollo rasa ini saatnya dia melakukan sesuatu yang bermartabat. Lagi pula, pada misi menghadapi kematian kali ini, dia dan Meg akan ditemani putra Hades, Nico di Angelo, dan Will, anak Apollo yang bisa berpendar dalam gelap. Bagaimana akhir petualangannya sebagai manusia? Ah, rasanya seperti menjawab soal dengan pilihan ganda saja. A. Nero menang dan satu Manhattan gosong dibakar api Yunani. B. Nero kalah dan Apollo harus menghadapi musuh abadinya, Phyton, dan mati dililit atau digigit. Atau, C. Nero kalah, Phyton menyemprotkan bisa mematikan, dan Apollo yang tengah sekarat membuat Zeus iba dan mengangkatnya kembali menjadi dewa agar bisa mengalahkan si ular. (Yang kemungkinannya sama besar dengan persentasi Apollo bisa mengencani Reyna si Pemburu Artemis: 0.00000001%.) AAARGH! Kenapa tidak ada pilihan D? Bahwa semua ini cuma mimpi dan Apollo hanya tengah tertidur di ranjang empuknya di Olympus, menikmati istirahat sebelum berkeliling menyinari dunia dengan mataharinya? Keunggulan Buku “Aku memang menyukai cara Rick membangun cerita dan menyampaikannya dalam wujud petualangan dan pelajaran hidup sekaligus. Penggunaan plot seorang manusia yang dulunya adalah dewa untuk membangkitkan rasa haru dan keprihatinan bukanlah sesuatu yang terlalu unik, tapi berhasil disuguhkan dengan sangat ahli dan menghibur. Sementara Apollo belajar cara menjadi manusia yang tidak memiliki kekuatan apa-apa, dia juga belajar cara menerima bantuan dan kebutuhan untuk berusaha demi mendapatkan apa yang dia inginkan. Sikap tidak mementingkan diri sendiri adalah hal tersulit untuk dipahami siapa pun, baik oleh manusia ataupun dewa.” —geeksofdoom.com “Siapa pun yang menyukai petualangan akan menikmati kisah ini—bahkan meski mereka tidak tahu apa-apa tentang mitologi Yunani/Romawi atau belum membaca buku-buku sebelumnya dari seri ini.” —Ronica Wahi, dailypioneer.com “Yang paling kusukai dari kisah-kisah yang ditulis Rick Riordan adalah keseimbangan sempurna yang tercapai dari gabungan humor dan cerita yang menyayat hati, dan The Burning Maze merepresentasikan semua itu. Para dewa, demigod, dan monster bisa jadi bersikap konyol (blemmyae, contohnya), tapi tidak menanggapi kekuatan yang mereka miliki dengan serius bisa berakibat fatal. Apollo menghadapi banyak misi dalam The Burning Maze dan semua itu dia lalui bukannya tanpa cedera. Buku ini adalah pengingat sejauh mana Apollo telah berubah—dan sejauh apa lagi dia harus membuktikan diri. Jadi, jangan harap kau bisa menyelesaikannya tanpa menjatuhkan setetes atau dua tetes air mata.” —hypable.com “Ciri khas Rick sangat berlimpah dalam buku ini—adegan aksi tingkat tinggi dengan momen-momen konyol yang menyulut tawa dalam setiap halamannya. Lewat karakter Apollo, Rick baru saja menciptakan saingan berat bagi Percy Jackson sendiri.” —indulgeexpress.com “Rick menciptakan keseimbangan yang bagus antara humor dan petualangan yang dapat dinikmati siapa pun.” —Amazon “Ini adalah kisah tentang bahaya, petualangan, persahabatan, dan perjalanan emosional yang membuat pembaca tertawa, menangis, dan menginginkan lebih banyak lagi.” —The Guardian “Aku menyukai petualangan yang disajikan, humornya, dan setumpuk referensi tentang Mitologi Yunani, yang semuanya berkaitan dengan cerita. Tapi, yang paling membuatku kagum adalah bagaimana karakter Apollo berkembang. Dia mengekspresikan penyesalan dan rasa bersalah dan bahkan semangat, tapi kesombongannya tidak ikut lenyap dan aku senang dengan fakta itu, karena dia masih harus bisa dikenali sebagai Apollo.” [Mizan, Mizan Publishing, Noura Books, Novel, Fantasy, Remaja, Indonesia]
