== Summary: The story of the Titan's Curse starts out with the main characters; Percy Jackson, Thalia Grace, and Annabeth Chase going to Westover Hall to save two half bloods which were two siblings. They tried to get around Dr. Thorn but were unable to escape his powers. They were forced to fight Dr. Thorn and thankfully, Artemis and her hunters came to help. Dr. Thorn ended up taking Annabeth in which the story continues on to find and save Annabeth. Their main quest was to find Artemis before the winter solstice. They went through many battles and used their powers to defeat different mythological creatures. Apollo, Ares, and Aphrodite were also major helps during these unfortunate battles. I thought it was interesting that the majority of the places that they traveled were all over the United States. They traveled in states such as, Maine, Arizona, California, and Washington D.C. Different gods met them in different places to give them advice and different resources to help find Artemis. I don't want to completely give away the ending but in the end, the children end up finding Artemis and go through a very unfortunate battle in which people are hurt and killed. This book was extremely action filled and I could definitely see using this series in my classroom. Children and adolescent children would love these series. It is a great way to learn about some of the gods and goddesses and is very entertaining as well. ==

Trailers and Clips There were not that many trailers for this book because it has never been made into a movie but I thought that this trailer that someone else made was a good interpretation of the characters and of the plot. media type="youtube" key="JS8fhbWHCGM" height="315" width="420"
