The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan J Rio



This is the third book in the Heroes of Olympus series, and, in my opinion, one of the best by Rick Riordan. This is a book with a lot of adventure.  It starts with Annabeth, Piper, Leo, and Jason going toward the Roman camp in the Argo II. When they get there Reyna (the Roman leader) pulls Annabeth aside and helps her figure out her quest.
Whoops, I forgot that I have not told you about Annabeth’s quest. Her mother, Athena, is acting weird and needs help. She gives Annabeth a coin and says, “Follow the mark of Athena, avenge me.” Annabeth must find an object taken by the Romans.
Anyways, where were we? Oh, yes, Reyna. Before Reyna can finish, the Romans attack and Leo appears to be firing at the Romans. Will they escape from Roman fire?
What do Percy’s dreams and Piper’s visions mean? The demigods set off for Rome not knowing what to expect.  Everybody has questions they want answered. They will face many things on their journey, good and evil.
This is a series with a lot of adventure and I highly recommend reading The Mark of Athena.
