After saving the world multiple times, Percy Jackson is finally trying to live a more normal life. He is now a high school senior hoping to attend New Rome University with Annabeth.

However, Percy discovers that getting into college will not be easy. Since he is a demigod, he needs recommendation letters from the gods themselves.

The first task comes from Ganymede, the cupbearer of Zeus, whose magical chalice of immortality has gone missing. Percy, Annabeth, and Grover must find the lost artifact before it causes chaos among the gods.

Their adventure takes them through:

• Greek myths brought into the modern world
