Knowing she and Percy are still together and in a much happier place makes me so proud to see how far they’ve both come. ![]() Sally’s presence is even more minor than her son’s, but it was also a great throwback to see her again. Still, it was such a relief to see him again and know that he’s doing great after the events of The Blood of Olympus. Plus, it allows the focus to shift to other characters who maybe haven’t been in the spotlight as much. He has a lot on his plate and he’s been through so much in the last two series that you can’t blame him. Smartly, Percy stays out of the main conflict. ![]() ![]() We get a little snapshot of his life outside of being a demigod, and it’s nice to see him laying low, focusing on school, and trying to stop himself from doing anything to make Annabeth angry at him.

I had my share of moments of glorious freedom that afternoon, as I cycled through the back roads of southern Anne Arundel County. That ride was punctuated by too many of these incidents to make me complacent, but I was happy, intermittently. Then the shiny monster whooshed by, and I had survived another car during my first bike rally ride. A scene out of a "Calvin and Hobbes" fantasy, and it was happening to me. I panicked, the hair standing up on my neck, sweaty palms grasping the handlebars to knuckle white. ![]() The rumblings of the three-ton monster got louder. ![]() ![]() ![]() Ted's mind-reading powers rub off a bit on Bobby, granting nightmare glimpses of his mom's assault by her rich, vile, jaunty boss. This pointedly echoes the theme of Lord of the Flies (the one book King says he wishes he'd written): war is the human condition. They close in on Ted and Bobby, just as a gang of older kids menace Bobby and his girlfriend, Carol. Unfortunately, Ted is being hunted by yellow-jacketed men-monsters from King's Dark Tower novels who take over the shady part of town. King is as good as Spielberg or Steven Millhauser at depicting an enchanted kid's-eye view of the world, and his Harwich is realistically luminous to the tiniest detail: kids bashing caps with a smoke-blackened rock, a car grille "like the sneery mouth of a chrome catfish," a Wild Mouse carnival ride that makes kids "simultaneously sure they were going to live forever and die immediately."īobby's mom takes in a lodger, Ted Brautigan, who turns the boy on to great books like Lord of the Flies.
