Synopsis:

Percy Jackson isn’t expecting freshman orientation to be any fun, but when a mysterious mortal acquaintance appears, pursued by demon cheerleaders, things quickly go from bad to worse.

Time is running out for Percy. War between the gods and the Titans is drawing near. Even Camp Half-Blood isn’t safe, as Kronos’ army prepares to invade its once impenetrable borders. To stop them, Percy and his friends must set out on a quest through the Labyrinth — a sprawling underground world with surprises and danger at every turn.

Along the way Percy will confront powerful enemies, find out the truth about the lost god Pan, and face the Titan lord Kronos’ most terrible secret. The final war begins . . . with the Battle of the Labyrinth.

My rating: ★★★★★
Percy is finally going to start high school... that is, if he doesn't get killed first.

The Titan lord Kronos continues to rise slowly with the help of the traitor, Luke. Yep, they're still trying to take over Olympus, but they first want to destroy Camp Half-Blood. And to do that they first have to enter the camp. But they wouldn't be able to do that since it was protective wards up. So they figured out another way in... through the Labyrinth. But they first have to figure out how to use it. So Percy, Annabeth, Tyson, and Grover set out into the Labyrinth to figure out how it works before Luke does. In order to do that, they will need the help of the least person they would expect to ask for help.

Amazing, as always! ;)
