Percy Jackson and the Olympians: book 4: The battle of the Labirinth

This book was even better.
It's still summer, yet Percy enters his new school just for an orientation visit; it's the school where his mother's boyfriend works. Percy is troubled because at the entrance he recognises Rachel Dare, that helped him with the skeletons the book before :-) She remembers him, and helps him again when two demonic cheerleaders attack him, ruining the date he had with Annabeth in the afternoon. At the camp he meets Quintus and Mrs O'Leary :lol: meets Tyson again, and learns that Grover is on trial for having failed in his search for Pan. Together with Annabeth, Grover and Tyson they enter the Labirinth looking for Daedalus, to prevent him from helping Luke. They meet Janus and Hera, they free giant Briares who has a hundred hands... and escape from Alcatraz, Percy kills Geryon at his ranch, and sort of make peace with Nico. Annabeth refuses to answers the sphinx quiz show so they have to fight it; they talk with Hephaestus and fight with the telkhines monsters; Percy causes the vulcano to erupt and is sent to recover to Calypso's island. Leaving her it's very difficult for him, but he has to; Percy and Annabeth asks for Rachel's help to find the way into the labirinth, she can do it just like Arianna did, because she can see the right way. Back into the labirinth, Percy kills Antaeus, son of Poseidon and Gea, and saves Ethan Nakamura's life, only to be betrayed by him. Percy doesn't trust Quintus, but now the enemies are too much so he uses the whistle Quintus gave him and summons Mrs O'Leary who helps him no trouble.
They finally meet Dedalus, and discover that he's alive, in a new body he designed himself, and they already met him as Quintus. Attacked by Minos ghost and his demons, they escape borrowing the wings made by Dedalus, and fly away. They meet Cronos inside Luke's body, and Rachel hits him with her blue comb. They finally find Pan, and he tells them to take care of the earth themselves, before dying. They go back to the camp under siege, and all the kids fight the monsters, and win only with the help of Grover, Nico, Briares and Dedalus, who came to seek amends. Dionysus cured Chris Rodriguez from his madness, and now he and Clarisse are happily singing songs together, holding hands :-D I'm happy for her. Back home, Paul asks Percy for his 'permission' to propose to his mother :-) It's his birthday party, and Tyson is there too, when Poseidon rings the door, and Paul meets Percy's father :-p The book ends with Percy inviting Nico to come in and eat some birthday cake :-)
