Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Wrath of the triple goddess by Rick Riordan

Percy Jackson and his girlfriend Annabeth are nearing the end of high school and Percy needs another two letters of recommendation from Greek gods to secure his place at New Rome University with Annabeth. While he is a demigod son of Poseidon, he is also dyslexic and has a short attention span hence the letters are very important to make up for his poor grades; so when the triple goddess Hecate asks him to pet-sit her hellhound Hecuba and polecat Gale at Halloween in exchange for a recommendation, Percy takes on the quest with his friends. Hecate’s house is a large spooky mansion and Annabeth declares it a perfect place for a last Halloween party inviting all their half-blood friends. All they have to do is feed and walk the pets and not eat the strawberry ice cream. what could possibly go wrong? Is the powerful goddess Hecate setting the friends up for failure, especially as satyr Grover finds it hard to resist any tasty treat? Are they acting from free will or are their actions controlled by fate? Does it matter as long as they act with courage and compassion, let go of anger and blame to work together?
