Alternate chapter title: “And Hudson: Smash.”
It’s like Home Alone, but with monsters! And river gods! And statues! And–actually so it’s really not much at all like Home Alone, which is not a bad thing. As to what it IS, it’s the tenth chapter of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Last Olympian, a.k.a…
Alternate title: The City That Never Sleeps, ‘Cept Now
Well, the gods just don’t like to give complete messages, do they? Plus Hermes is cranky, Olympus is on the brink of attack, and Morpheus takes Manhattan. (But at least Kentucky’s only half-destroyed.) It must be time for the 9th chapter of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Last Olympian, a.k.a…
Alternate title: “Styxin’ It To Hades”
“Perhaps you’d like it back in your cell, your Percyness?” The events behind that shoehorned-in Star Wars quote and more on the eighth chapter of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Last Olympian, a.k.a…

From the first book, she was an erinye/fury. I keep wanting to say Mrs. Davenport, but that’s my seventh grade math teacher. [Read more…]
Alternate chapter title: Home Is Where the Hellhound Is
You can’t go home again. But you can go to Luke’s home again. Unless you’re Luke, because he’s a little borked up right now. But then again, so is Luke’s home. This rambling series of sentences must mean that it’s time for the sixth chapter in Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Last Olympian, referred to by those in the know as…
Alternate chapter title: Satyrs Needin’ A Smack
Big dogs, fat satyrs, and shadow-hopping! It must be time for the fifth chapter in Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Last Olympian, aka…
Alternate title: Four Giant Evil Badgers and a Funeral
Dreams, disputes, and dealing with doom! All that and more forced alliteration on my part in the fourth chapter of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Last Olympian, known to the rest of you as…
