THE MARK OF ATHENA By Rick Riordan

Annabeth is very frustrated... she is worried that when she reunites
with Percy he will have changed, It has been six months and believe  me
people can change! Soon Annabeth receives a note...   Dear Annabeth, take
three friends to the Argo II... AVENGE ME!!!     -Athena. That note terrified Annabeth! 
And the most disturbing part was this note was from her Mother! , 
ATHENA... Annabeth had not seen her for years yet she always  knew
her mother was up in the clouds starring down at her...   BEWARE THE ARGO II...

Annabeth was the main character [of course]. Annabeth had a big struggle
with her mother, Athena because she had not seen her mother in years, 
and years! She always thought her mother had bailed on her! Annabeth
had another struggle with Percy... Annabeth had just reunited and had not
been together for the longest time! {six months}

Annabeth had a big struggle with life itself. She most of the time was never
happy or never had a smile on her face. Life was a nightmare come true,
everything was a really big challenge for her and she could not really function
as well as everybody else.

Annabeth goes from a lonely, twisted minded girl to a warrior of
wisdom! There are some very big changes that she goes from through-out
the story... these are very hard changes to make and are brave to
dodge!

Annabeth reminds me of a friend named Sally... She had a mind
just like Annabeth, she thought everything was out to get her,
even her cat, Mr.Butler, [frankly he really was out to get her]!
