“Leo Valdez and the Quest for Buford” is a hair-raising tale about an errant table that ran off with a device in its drawers that can save Camp Half-Blood. Percy has to resort to his powers over water to finally triumph over the thieving giant. He lives below Manhattan in the sewer system and is not inclined to return the staff to Hermes. Percy and Annabeth have to deal with a “small” giant who is a thief and the guilty party. Hermes is not able to function without the staff and the gods will not be able to communicate which will leave them vulnerable to their enemies. In “Percy Jackson and the Staff of Hermes”, the demigod Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, and his demigod girlfriend, Annabeth, daughter of Athena, are summoned by Hermes, Messenger of the Gods and the God of Travel, who has lost his staff – the Staff of Asclepius. They have to deal with the deadly creatures that keep Halcyon trapped in the house and they have to figure a way out to save their own lives. They discover that a fellow demigod, Halcyon Green, demigod of Apollo and a rather old man compared to them, has been imprisoned in the house and needs their help to escape. Then they hear a man’s voice calling to them. The demigods see pairs of eerie red eyes staring at them from the dark.

They enter the large house which was obviously once a grand residence but has been abandoned and is in disrepair. The goat leads them to a rundown house in Richmond Virginia and then disappears in a mist.

She doesn’t have much contact with her father but she is certain that he sent the goat to take her on this mission. In the first story, “The Diary of Luke Castellan”, Luke and his fellow demigod Thalia are first seen following a magic goat called Amaltheia across Virginia. “The Demigod Diaries” by Rick Riordan is a book of demigod adventures that features four main stories.
