One way of doing so is to obtain a maguffin (ie, mystical item that serves little other purpose than to give the characters something to search for) known as Ariadne's String, which apparently has the ability to show its owner the way through the maze. She fears that it's only a matter of time until the traitorous Luke and the armies of Kronos invade the camp, and makes the point that they need to do what they can to impair the ability of these forces to navigate the Labyrinth. The Labyrinth boasts myriad doors and gateways, one of which, Annabeth explains, happens to be on Camp Grounds. Increasingly, its inalienable walls are being breached, a fact that the perspicacious Annabeth, Percy's not-quite-girlfriend, attributes to Kronos and his forces having found their way into the Labyrinth, a vastly complex maze that exists beneath the world as we know it. Or at least, a place that once boasted this status. Having seen MONSTERS APPEAR! at his new school, and having caused a bit of a ruckus as a result, Percy is whisked off to Camp-Half Blood, a place of relative safety. Percy Jackson and the Battle of the Labyrinth is the fourth in the Percy Jackson series, and it brings with it a bit of emotional baggage from the previous few books, which are becoming slightly darker as Kronos's off-stage forces are being mustered. But whether you think that it's because of, or in spite of, all of this, there's no denying that the books are exceedingly good fun. A huge cast of characters comes and goes with alarming alacrity. On the surface, these books shouldn't work.
PERCY JACKSON MONSTERS LIST SERIES
The usual formula for the first couple of pages is something along the lines of: Percy goes to a new school, and MONSTERS APPEAR! In fact, the MONSTERS APPEAR! theme pretty much sums up the Percy Jackson series as a whole. In fact, one of the things that's so great about these books is that they're extremely up front about what you're going to get.
Percy Jackson is best served with a glass of ultra-strong red cordial. One can sum up this pleasure simply by linking it with the appropriate drink to have on hand when reading it: some books go well with a red wine, others with a rich port. I'll be the first to admit that the Percy Jackson novels are somewhat of a guilty pleasure for me. The Percy Jackson series appears in our list of young adult fiction drawing on Greek mythology
