The Witch of Endor. 2) The Salem witch trials were not the first place to hunt witches. The government also hunted witches in German and all through Europe. 3) Helen Duncan used to summon a dead person's ectoplasm and it was only cheesecloth, paper and egg whites. 4) Margaret Hamilton was a teacher first before becoming a actor and playing the Wicked Witch of the West in the wizard of oz. ...more

AndGenre: Middle Grade myth retelling/ fantasy Format: Paperback Pages: 361 Published March 6,2008 "People are more difficult to work with than machines. And when you break a perosn, he can't be fixed." This is the fouth book in the Percy Jackson series. This is about the labyrinth and how Krono is using it to invade Camp half blood. Annabeth and company are sent into the labyrinth to find the creator and the string so they can find Luke and stop Krono and his army from invading camp. I liked this book. This book introduces more characters and gods, like Briares, the hundred handed one. We meet more Gods like,Hera and Janus. My favorite scene was Nico feeding the grave coke and Mcdonalds happy meals to wake up the dead. I would love to wake up to that. Percy and Annabeth take an interest in each other. My favorite new character is the huge friendly hellhound named "Mrs. O' Leary". Riordan is very funny and smart. I recommend this for 12 year olds and up. I rated this a 4 out of 5. A solid read. If you love mythology you should give this series a try....more
