Now the goddess Hecate has offered Percy another "opportunity"--all he has to do is pet sit her polecat, Gale, and mastiff, Hecuba, over Halloween week while she is away. Piece of cake, right?

It's going to take luck, demigod wiles, and some old and new friends to hunt down the animals and set things right again.
