Percy Jackson is Back!

 The Chalice of the Gods by Rick Riordan 

I love Percy Jackson; the books are always fast paced and full of adventure. The stakes are high but not unattainable. Percy and Annabeth are planning for their future, which is New Rome University. But, Percy needs three letters of recommendation to get in. The only problem is that they can't be from teachers, they must be from gods. This means that Percy has to complete three new quests to get said letters, and he has to ask the god BEFORE completing the quest otherwise it doesn't count. Enter Ganymede, cup bearer of the gods. The Chalice of the Gods has been stolen and he needs it back before Zeus holds a party, which could be tomorrow or next year - you never know with Zeus. They start out at a game room and get turned into 8 year olds, but Annabeth saved them with a baby chicken. Then, Percy has to clean a staff for Iris, which if he had asked before hand could have also counted, but he didn't so it doesn't. In order to clean the staff he has to go to  a special river and the god there gets super mad a Percy and tries to drown him which causes Percy to explode which cleans the river but also scares the god. On the plus side, it also cleaned the staff. Then, Iris tells them they have to go meet Gary. Turns out, he is the god of old age. He challenges Percy to a wrestling match and it's not going well until Percy gives him a hug. Like, a literal hug. Percy embraces old age and that ends the wrestling match; Gary gives him back the Chalice. Now, Percy has to sneak it into Mount Olympus which he manages to do with a little help from Athena. The Chalice is returned and Ganymede gives Percy a blank piece of paper - he gets to write his own letter of recommendation and it will magically add Ganymede's name to the end. Also, we find out that Sally and Paul are pregnant. That was confusing me to because in the Trials of Apollo they have already had the baby so this timeline threw me off. This was everything you have come to expect from a Percy Jackson book and I ate it up!
