Rick RiordanPercy Jackson and the Olympians - The Chalice of the Gods (Paperback)
R229
About
The original heroes from The Lightning Thief are reunited for their biggest challenge yet: getting Percy to college when the gods are standing in his way.
The original hero. A brand-new adventure.
Percy Jackson has saved the world multiple times - battling monsters, Titans, even giants - but these days the modern-day son of Poseidon is hoping for a regular final year at school.
Too bad the Greek gods have other plans, and three new quests for Percy to complete.
First up: the cupbearer of the gods, Ganymede, is missing his golden chalice. Not only is this embarrassing (why do the gods keep losing their magical items?), it's also potentially disastrous. One sip from the cup will turn any mortal into a powerful god. And the old gods do not take kindly to newbies.
Can Percy and his friends Annabeth and Grover find the chalice before it falls into the wrong hands? And even if they do, will they be able to resist its awesome power. . .?
Readers new to the Percy Jackson universe and long-time fans will love this epic adventure - full of legendary heroes, mythical creatures, ancient Greek gods and enduring friendship - from the global bestseller Rick Riordan.

This one's for you, Nancy!
When the music video for Nancy Sinatra's 1966 hit song 'These Boots were made for Walking' was released, literally nobody questioned it. Her boots were made for walking, and that's just what they'd do. Looking at it in 2023, though, we do need to ask how comfortable those black leather knee-highs would really be, especially if she planned on walking all over whoever wronged her.
No shade to Nancy, but a pair of shoes that are made for walking (or running, or working) - like these composite toe shoes from Caterpillar safety - would have been a better pick.
