The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z On the port-side wall, the huge ugly face receded so that Leo could see the entire creature—another gnome chimp, in even crazier clothes. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z He sensed its inner workings and, if the statue of Hygeia operated on a similar schematic, Leo might have a chance . Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Anything that could fit into the pockets, Leo could tote around. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Fortunately, Leo trusted him enough not to ask why. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo prised open a service panel near the snake’s head. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z High above, Leo saw a smudge of white that might have been the sun. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z A dozen more questions crowded into Annabeth’s head, but it was already spinning like Leo’s pinwheel. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z He dashed to the left as Leo pulled a ball-peen hammer from his tool belt and yelled, ‘Hey, Bronze Butt!’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z First things first: Leo scanned the dragon for signs of damage. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo was lashed to the control console, desperately trying to right the ship as they spiralled downward in free fall. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo tore his eyes away from the controls. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “That’ll be my job,” Leo said, hating his own plan already. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo kept thinking he should bring it up, just to clear the air, but the timing never seemed right. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z If it was possible for Leo to feel worse, he did. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z I can imagine Leo nodding, adding, “A wilderness spirit.” Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z Leo put his hand against the horse’s side and felt the muscles working like a well-oiled machine. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Of course, the rest of the crew hadn’t been down in the stables with Leo, talking with the victory goddess Nike over the past three days... Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo strung some wires across the mouth of the funnel. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo ran for the metal door next to the dais. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z There was a changeover at some point—Ellen and Leo escorted to the north entrance and Alex and June shuffled off in another direction. Red, White & Royal Blue 2019-05-14T00:00:00Z The months he’d spent there with Piper and Leo had felt more satisfying, more right than all his years at Camp Jupiter. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “Leo always says you’re his rock. You can tell them where we’ve gone and bring the ship around to meet us at the Forum.” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z The scene reminded Leo of the invisible wind spirits that had served him lunch at Camp Jupiter. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “Nemesis mentioned something similar,” Leo said; “She talked about an old score that had to be settled—” “The one thing that might bring the gods’ two natures into harmony,” Hazel recalled. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z This one began leaping around the deck, stuffing things in a burlap bag—Piper’s dagger, Leo’s Wii controllers. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo stuttered, trying to shake his fist and hoist up his pants at the same time. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z And it's always stated as an undeniable fact: Leos are born between July 23 and August 22, fitted queen-size sheets measure sixty by eighty inches, and America is the greatest country on earth. Me Talk Pretty One Day 2000-05-02T00:00:00Z Many priests and the bishop admire and support Padre Leo. Enrique's Journey 2006-02-21T00:00:00Z Leo wanted to shout: And I’m the dude that’s all out of here! The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo Slager came from the same school, but isn’t as smart. The Diary of a Young Girl 1997-02-03T00:00:00Z For the first time in days, Leo felt really hopeful. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Frank gave Leo a confused smile—like he couldn’t decide whether to gloat or to thank Leo for being a doofus—but he cheerfully let Hazel drag him along. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “The Greeks have fired, on us! Your boy Leo has trained his weapons on Rome!” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “We need to ramp up the schedule,” he heard Leo say. Dog Squad 2021-05-11T00:00:00Z “Let me think about the prophecy—but right now we have more immediate problems. We have to get this ship fixed. Leo, what do we need?” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Hazel, who was still riding Arion, kicked Leo in the arm. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo liked his quarters okay, but he felt safest here in the heart of the ship—in a room filled with mechanisms he knew how to control. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Tendrils of black haze traveled back up the lines of fire, snuffing out the light and heat and covering Leo in darkness. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “I learned that in math class once, but—” “It’s used to measure circles,” Leo said. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo vaguely knew Clark Gable was an old-timey actor, but he didn’t know much else. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo pulled a tiny screwdriver from his tool belt. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo summoned a ball of fire to his hand, and for once Frank was glad to see the flames. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z But then, I knew all about Zara’s giant crush on Leo, who had wavy, sandy-colored hair, greenish eyes, and just a few freckles. Maybe He Just Likes You 2019-10-01T00:00:00Z “Maybe it got stuck in traffic,” Leo said. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “Our next episode is going to take place in New York City!” said Leo. Dog Squad 2021-05-11T00:00:00Z ‘Leo’s right,’ Frank said, though his eyes were fixed on the wreath. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z As they got closer, Leo noticed disturbing details. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo wasn’t sure why he wanted the astrolabe. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z The next time she visited, Leo was putting the final touches on his first project. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo grinned over the top of his pinwheel. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo is still waiting for me to explain my question. Girl in the Blue Coat 2016-04-05T00:00:00Z “I could maybe rig some kind of camouflage,” Leo said, “like a smoke screen to hide us in the clouds.” The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z One man who took such apocalyptic speculation seriously was Leo Szilard, the energetic and resourceful Hungarian physicist who had tried to patent a prototypical cyclotron just before Lawrence’s practical invention. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z “Dang, man,” Leo grumbled, “I just spent all my cash on homemade explosives and whatnot.” The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Over the last few months, Leo had learned to interpret this machine language. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z She fidgeted with her sword hilt, which made Leo uneasy. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo stood at the helm, conferring with Festus through the intercom; he knew from experience to give Jason and Piper some space. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z To Padre Leo, the people most in need in Nuevo Laredo are migrants. Enrique's Journey 2006-02-21T00:00:00Z Frank looked so horrified and ashamed it was hard for Leo to stay mad at him. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “But there are ninety years between the fire and now! What happened during those ninety years? What happened to Leo? That’s what I’m trying to figure out!” The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Leo somehow managed to punch them in while holding the wheel with one hand. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Akmon was wearing Leo’s tool belt—he was so close that Leo had to resist the urge to lunge for it. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo wished he could sound as confident as Calypso. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “Okay, okay,” Leo said, though he had to resist the urge. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z He sprang from his chair, bounced off Jason’s head, did a flip, and landed next to Leo, his hairy arms around Leo’s waist. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo, Piper, and Jason, who’d been eating in the mess hall, came rushing up the stairs. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z His friends paid close attention as Leo explained. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “At top rowing speed, about an hour,” Leo said. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Thanks to Leo, he no longer had to fear fire. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Padre Leo emerges one night from his bedroom to say Mass. His flannel shirt is inside out and buttoned incorrectly. Enrique's Journey 2006-02-21T00:00:00Z Leo caught a whiff of cinnamon—maybe her perfume? The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo felt bad about ruining all these ancient inventions, but this was life or death. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z No more waiting for Leo to finish the ship. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z He glances at the diagram and says, "Leo? Take a look at the value for that third resistor—is that a two or a five?" Things Not Seen 2002-01-01T00:00:00Z Just another one of Leo’s stupid jokes, but the comment hit a little too close to home. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo was walking in the hills, following a little brook that ran between two big cedar trees. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Padre Leo is so disheveled that visitors sometimes mistake him for one of the poor, dirty migrants sitting outside. Enrique's Journey 2006-02-21T00:00:00Z ‘They named a whole town after Leo’s table?’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z He felt guilty about leaving Reyna to rule without him, but still...part of him wanted to go back to Camp Half-Blood with Piper and Leo. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Rumor must’ve gotten around that Leo was the one who had fired on their little city, because those Romans seemed especially anxious to kill him. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Instead of racing to Leo’s aid, he hugged the wall to get as far away as possible. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z He pulled the sheet away, revealing a collection of levers and knobs almost as complicated-looking as Leo’s control panel on the Argo II. “This button?” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo's excited now, flipping through the stapled pages. Things Not Seen 2002-01-01T00:00:00Z It didn’t seem that way to Leo—not when he looked at her. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo spotted Piper’s knife, an old leather-bound book, a few interesting-looking mechanical devices, and enough gold to give Hazel’s horse a stomachache. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Poor Leo was like the young prince in The Winter’s Tale, thought Joseph, or the Little Match Girl. The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z ‘If Leo has an idea,’ he said, ‘we need to trust him.’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Obviously, he didn’t like the idea of Leo going off with Hazel. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Even by demigod standards, Leo was seriously ADHD. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z She cursed Leo for making them so complicated. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z She didn’t want to ruin the moment, but she couldn’t stop thinking of Leo and how he would never have a fresh start. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo resisted the urge to throw a grenade in Frank’s face. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z The bronze surface was searing hot, but Leo didn’t care. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z He had to hope she and Leo were alive on the other side. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z For one thing, he figured Aphros could travel much faster in the water, and the guy might be able to shut off the magic that let Leo move and breathe. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Or the fact that he kept the postcard Leo had sent back, stapled to the last page of his sketch pad. When Dimple Met Rishi 2017-05-30T00:00:00Z “Don’t you wish somebody came up to you today and gave you a scrapbook called ‘The Life of Leo Borlock’? Stargirl 2000-08-08T00:00:00Z “Ah, that’s just because modern mortals don’t know how to use Celestial bronze,” Leo said. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo jumped away, barely avoiding an acid bath. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo’s conversations with Nike had helped him fine-tune the plan, but he still wanted a second opinion from another god. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Then he saw she was completely at ease, grinning and talking with her escorts, and Leo realized that the mermaids were laughing. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Seeing the bird fly, I know it’s the same eagle I saw with Leo. Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z Leo climbed the tilting deck and managed to grab the port rail. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo leaped to one side and the snake missed his head by an inch. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Riding Arion was the best thing that had happened to Leo all day—which wasn’t saying much, since his day had sucked. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Calypso’s eyes smoldered with anger, but for once Leo didn’t think the anger was aimed at him. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Of course he was relieved that Leo wasn’t hitting on his girl, but Frank was also kind of worried about Leo. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo stuffed it in his tool belt and the bag vanished—no weight, no mass, no volume—though Leo knew it would be there as soon as he reached for it. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “Percy has a knack for picking good friends. Like you. But Frank, you can trust anyone on this ship. Even Leo. We’re all a team. We have to trust each other.” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo had never been so glad to fit his tool belt around his waist. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Maybe if Leo had a few years, he could decipher the markings and figure out the right combination, but he didn’t even have a few seconds. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo felt like his face had just hit the water again. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z But it almost seemed like Hazel and Leo had a history. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z The ship was descending, which meant Leo’s projects would have to wait. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo wished he could dismiss his feelings that easily. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z They stumbled toward the window, but Leo set off his homemade firecrackers—snapping them around the dwarfs’ bare feet to keep them off balance. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z That meant Leo had only himself, his bag of junk food, and a few highly improvised weapons made from sugar and toothpaste. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo wasn’t sure why they made him nervous. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “I want to say goodbye to Leo,” I tell her firmly, and before she can send me upstairs, I shake hands with him. The Queen of Water 1996-01-01T00:00:00Z Twice a week at dusk, Padre Leo grabs a large black duffel bag and pedals his bike over a bridge that spans the Rio Grande into Laredo, Texas. Enrique's Journey 2006-02-21T00:00:00Z It struck at Leo, who ducked and tried to grapple its neck, but it was like trying to grab sandpaper going sixty miles an hour. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “He has red hair, like us, and like Leo in the photo. Or is that Leo grown up?” The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Leo felt a strange desire to smack Spike with a hammer. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo looked down and realized his own body had turned to mist too. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo’s right hand blazed, but the wind swirled around him and doused the fire. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Jason touched down on the deck of the Argo II. Thankfully, Leo had done his part. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z ‘YOU!' Nike glared at Leo, her eyes hotter and brighter than her metal wings. ‘You dare?’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo hit another button on his death ray. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “Unfortunately, Leo is correct. I don’t see how I can transport something so large. I was assuming—well, I was hoping you all would have an answer.” The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo had never been outside the U.S. before—except for a quick dragon flight up to Quebec. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo looks like a neighbor man who remembers every kid’s birthday and dresses up like Santa for the Salvation Army. Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z Leo’s fingers felt like they had turned to stone. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “Let’s take the dogs to the train station tomorrow,” said Leo. Dog Squad 2021-05-11T00:00:00Z Back on board, he had pulled Leo aside and suggested a course correction. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo could only manage it because he’d seen New Rome in California. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo stood astern, alone at the helm, and aimed as best he could. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z ‘You two are full of good cheer,’ Leo said. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo opened his eyes, amazed to be alive. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo shouted orders from the helm as Jason and Frank flew frantically from line to line, trying to secure them. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo looked at his hands, which, as usual, were streaked with grease and grime. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo caught a glimpse of his friends in a losing battle, yelling and slashing at the monster’s nose hairs. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z From the rumble of her chariot wheels, Leo guessed she was circling the perimeter of the field - Victory taking a victory lap. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z She took out the piece of firewood and handed it to Leo. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z At age ten, he won the conservatory’s prestigious gold medal before going on to the Paris Conservatory, where he studied under Joseph Massart and Leo Delibes. The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics 2014-05-27T00:00:00Z Leo worried the god might just take it, and how could Leo stop him? Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z She stared straight into the dish as Leo flipped the switch. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo kept running, sure the shadow giant was still behind him. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Besides, Leo finally had confirmation that Percy Jackson was out of the picture with Calypso. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo just had time to think: A hamster ball elevator? The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Arrows whistled under Leo’s feet, which led to more screaming and cursing. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z After his mom died, Rosa had rejected Leo. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z ‘Bummer,’ Leo said, though secretly he thought that no more prophecies might be a good thing. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z She didn’t have Leo’s power to make gears turn or circuits spark. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Hazel and Leo were still ghosts, but now they stood in front of a rundown house next to a drainage ditch overgrown with weeds. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z While the centaur and the mermaids went off to fetch Frank, Leo and Hazel floated above the hill and gazed down at the underwater camp. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z So when he had seen Leo—a guy who could summon fire at will—moving in on his girl... The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Next to Leo, Frank scrambled out of his chair and put his back against the wall. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo figured that as soon as he reached the top, they would jump away before he could use his weapons; but he had to try. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z And, if Leo’s plan was going to work, he couldn’t have anybody else close by when he pulled the trigger. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “The drawstring was my idea,” Leo said proudly. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Judging from the ringing in Leo’s ears, the dwarf had detonated the flash-bang grenade, which Leo had filled with a rare vial of Apollo’s music, pure liquid extract. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo studied the cliff top and muttered under his breath. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z And even though I suspected Zara just didn’t want me to report Leo, I couldn’t imagine telling all this to Mr. McCabe, anyway. Maybe He Just Likes You 2019-10-01T00:00:00Z Inside was enough cool stuff to keep Leo busy for years. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Joseph flipped the tape, anxious to discover what became of Leo. The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Hazel and Leo scrambled into the tunnel, which seemed to be the only one free of monsters. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z He put on some of Leo’s thick wool socks and a pair of his leather boots. The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Leo didn’t know if the Kerkopes were telling them the truth, but it was hard to stay mad at weeping dwarfs, no matter how annoying and badly dressed they were. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo could make a lot of things, but an inflammable, self-cleaning outfit wasn’t one of them. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z ‘But -’ ‘Seriously, guys,’ Leo said, ‘I’m fine, except for the fact that Gaia’s destroying the world tomorrow. Let’s focus.’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “He also built a death ray made of mirrors that could burn enemy ships,” Leo said. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Even Leo had stopped making jokes at his expense. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo had been in enough rough schools and foster homes to sense when things were about to turn ugly. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Now, as the Argo II raced across the waves, Leo had to use all his skill just to keep the ship in one piece. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo could tell she was too embarrassed to say more. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Unless Leo could find the dwarfs somewhere in that maze of streets...Nope. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Because, once Leo committed himself, there would be no going back. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z But if Leo had escaped from an evil sorceress’s lair, why did he seem so sad? The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo’s skin tingled, and every instinct in his body screamed, Duck! The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Joseph unwrapped it and found the small leather case with the picture of Leo and the drawing of the angel inside. The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z She didn’t finish the thought, but from Jason’s and Leo’s expressions, she saw that they understood. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z They found Leo at the top of the city fortifications. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z And our foster parents, Miss Doris and Mr. Leo, were nice to us. Courage to Soar 2016-11-15T00:00:00Z He didn’t have Leo’s skill with machines, but he knew how to aim a weapon. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo wiped his hair out of his eyes. Maybe He Just Likes You 2019-10-01T00:00:00Z Frank thought about how many times he’d seen Leo’s fingers burst into flame. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z For some reason, Leo could unnerve people when he grinned. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Nico and Leo grabbed her arms and helped her to the steps of the foredeck. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo sat up...or rather he drifted upright. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “We’ll save him, Hazel. We can make it in time. Right, Leo?” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “Leo,” Piper said, “are we ready to sail?” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z ‘Actually,’ he said, ‘you’re not far off. Uncle Leo brought some toys for all you good little demigods.’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Hazel’s hair was all blown to one side, as though she’d walked through a cyclone; and Leo had accidentally set himself on fire. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “Leo gave me a book, too. My Side of the Mountain. A New York city kid runs away to the woods.” Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z Leo is the real deal—a wilderness man. Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z Leo hadn’t figured out how to put the two things together yet, and it was driving him crazy. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo gave the helm to Coach Hedge again, after making the satyr promise he would not steer them to the nearest military base “for fun.” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Jason summoned a gust of wind, which boosted Leo onto the statue’s shoulders like a little kid at a parade. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z To find his mother, my friend Leo tried Beast Riding one time. Beast Rider 2019-03-01T00:00:00Z Leo let out a happy whoop as the dust cloud got closer. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo had designed the mess hall’s walls to show real-time scenes from Camp Half-Blood. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo put his sandwich between his teeth, pirate style, and ran for the helm. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Rachel the Oracle had tried to read the future, and while she couldn’t see much, she’d been certain that Leo needed to finish the Argo II before they could contact the Romans. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z They dived into a trench as the green starburst of Greek fire singed Leo’s hair. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo didn’t even want to ask how mermaids got cell-phone coverage in the middle of the Atlantic. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z At the stern was a large mess hall/lounge, which was where Leo headed. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Florent motioned to the pictures by the bed, the ones of Joseph and Albert and Frankie and Leo and the angel. The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Sure, they’d had their differences; but after all they’d been through together, Frank didn’t want to see Leo get his heart broken. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z What it was doing in this pond, Leo wasn’t sure. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z One false move, and Leo could incinerate the piece of tinder that controlled Frank’s life. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “Because we all knew better than to try to stop you,” Leo’s voice says. Red, White & Royal Blue 2019-05-14T00:00:00Z His biggest claim to helpfulness so far had been changing into a weasel to escape from an underground workshop, and even that had been Leo’s idea. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z She might have been mechanical, but Leo couldn’t hear any moving parts. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo felt like whinnying and stomping his hooves, too. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo stared at her, wondering whose side she was on. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo drops his cup into the saucer with a clatter, wiping his hand on his pants and banging against the coffee table as he moves to greet me. Girl in the Blue Coat 2016-04-05T00:00:00Z On the stern quarterdeck, Leo rushed around like a madman, checking his gauges and wrestling levers. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Her dress was smeared with grease stains from Leo’s tool belt. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “There’s a fountain on every block,” Leo grumbled. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo figured smiling was better than throwing up. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z She didn’t know any Leo or Piper at camp. The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z His expression was a little too greedy for Leo’s taste. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo lowered the gangplank, and Percy and Annabeth were first off the ship. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z They stood on deck, alone except for Leo, who was still manning the helm. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo’s head hit the deck hard, and his eyes rolled up so that only the whites showed. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo had a sudden instinct to hide the instrument and keep it for himself. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo resisted the urge to hide behind Frank and yell, Take the big Canadian dude! Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z ‘Take her aboard the Argo 77,’ Leo said. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Five minutes later, with Calypso’s arms around his waist, Leo spurred Festus into flight. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z For some reason, saying that made Leo feel less agitated. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z The wall behind it was decorated with Leo’s crayon drawings. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Halfway to the door I heard her behind me: “Hi, Leo.” Stargirl 2000-08-08T00:00:00Z The sight of Leo coming in through a side door isn’t entirely unexpected, and June rises from her chair and meets them both in a quiet corner of the room on the same instinct. Red, White & Royal Blue 2019-05-14T00:00:00Z Leo didn’t mean to, but he couldn’t help laughing. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z At least, Leo assumed it was a church. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z But now Leo was looking past her and waving at me, his whole arm in a sweeping motion, like he was saying farewell to a ship. Maybe He Just Likes You 2019-10-01T00:00:00Z Fortunately for Leo’s face, the blade was too long to wield in the corridor. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “I’m Leo Valdez, bad boy supreme. And the ladies love a bad boy.” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z As Leo read the words the voice actors would record for the dogs, Cha-Cha had a few words of her own for Fred. Dog Squad 2021-05-11T00:00:00Z Her blond hair fell loose around her shoulders, but Leo didn’t find that attractive. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z The fire was raging around Leo right now, and the flames were going to continue burning until he did something about it. The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Leo got back on his feet, thanks to a little nectar. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Sometimes that happened, like when she was helping Leo with the ship’s machinery or drawing architectural plans on the computer. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo had walked to a ballista and started firing. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo and Percy scrambled to the left, ducking through a maze of walls that seemed to shift and turn on their own. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo felt guilty about that, especially considering what his idea was, but he mustered a smile. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Maybe he was still tangled at the Neptune fountain, or scouring the streets looking for Leo. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Sanne and Leo gather around Judith, embracing her and whispering things in her ear. Girl in the Blue Coat 2016-04-05T00:00:00Z Yet the tune Apollo strummed was so melancholy it broke Leo’s feels. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z A fissure spread across the center of the room, coming straight toward Leo and Hazel. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo could only follow her progress by the movement of the grass and the shimmer of her dress as it changed to match the rocks. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z All Leo had to do was to find his way back to Ogygia. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z She and Leo hit the chute hard and slid into the cavern, landing right on top of Pasiphaë. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “I like to think of myself as captain,” Leo said. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z He opened his hand and the stone Leo had skipped flew out of the stream, right into Percy’s palm. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z ‘You know, you couldn’t have stopped Leo. There’s nothing you could have done differently. He knew what had to happen.’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z At the campfire, everyone kept looking at the stars, as if they expected Leo to come back in some dramatic, last-minute surprise. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Locked in a deep valley, I feel sorry that Leo and I didn’t explore this terrain. Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z Ever since their friends Percy and Annabeth had fallen into Tartarus, Leo had been working almost nonstop. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z When they saw Leo, they threw their cards like confetti and broke out in applause. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “Leo, you can be a real jerk sometimes.” Stargirl 2000-08-08T00:00:00Z Leo looked down at the contraption in his hands. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Besides, Leo knew something about locks and doors. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “Good pep rally, but there’s still a ton of things to fix on this ship before we get to the Mediterranean. Please report to Supreme Commander Leo for your superfun list of chores!” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo usually didn’t pay much attention to how other guys looked. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo could’ve darted to one side and gotten lost in the plants pretty easily, but he didn’t try. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo was pretty sure she was going to march down the crater and punch him in the face. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo asked as they glided down the path from the cave. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z The earth goddess Gaea had killed his mother in a workshop fire when Leo was eight. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo spat a piece of seaweed out of his mouth. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z She looked like she was about to cry, but Leo couldn’t tell if that was from relief or misery or admiration. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Hazel jumped to one side, dragging Leo with her. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Now they were abandoning it for good - and leaving Leo behind. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo should not have felt pleased about that, but part of him did. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo points to the bottom of the page. The Queen of Water 1996-01-01T00:00:00Z “I think Leo and Fritz might have ended up on the Ray.” Ship Breaker 2010-05-01T00:00:00Z As Leo edged closer, he realized the guy’s face was unusually golden. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Years later he would ask Leo Nedelsky, one of his Berkeley graduate assistants, to substitute for him in delivering a lecture. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z Leo’s fingers heated up like they were about to catch fire. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo was glad he was floating, because he probably would’ve been too dizzy to stand. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo darted towards Nike, yelling, ‘Hey! I want a participation award!’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “But . . . haven’t you ever wanted to continue the story, to decide what happens to Leo?” The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Thinking about that made Leo wonder how she was doing on her Mark of Athena expedition. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo and Calypso sat on the beach, near the spot where Leo had destroyed the dining table, and they ate a picnic dinner together. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “You should show these to Leo Tilden. Really. These are...they’re just amazing. We can go show them to him right now.” When Dimple Met Rishi 2017-05-30T00:00:00Z Leo muttered some unflattering comments about numina, but he turned the wheel. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z As if Leo was going to turn back. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo jumped off and the golden serpent began shaking uncontrollably. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Another small explosion made Leo drop his screwdriver. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo threw a pair of pliers at her. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Aphros said proudly, shoving an old-fashioned picnic basket into Leo’s arms. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Since Leo had found that Archimedes sphere, he’d been trying out a lot of “new installations.” The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “That, good people, is how we do things in Leo World. Come on in!” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Or would I, like the pieces of Leo’s mandolin, lodge stubbornly in some quiet place behind a boulder and wait, my clothes washing about me, for spring? The Secret History 1992-10-16T00:00:00Z The root of the word is that for zoo, because the zodiacal constellations, like Leo, are mainly fancied to be animals. Cosmos 1980-01-01T00:00:00Z Hazel scrambled over to him as Leo brought the ship level. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z He had a deep tan and black hair almost as curly as Leo’s. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z He was starting to think Piper was right about the storm or fire line in the prophecy—one of them, Jason or Leo, would not come back from this voyage alive. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z She was so engrossed, she didn’t notice them until Leo said, “Hi.” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo had taken the fortune cookie out of his tool belt and turned it in his fingers, wondering what price he would have to pay if he broke it open. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo’s laugh crawled back down his throat to die. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo held his fire close to the walls. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z The first chance she got, after all that mess in the House of Hades, she’d marched into Leo’s cabin and said, ‘Spill.’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z On the other hand, at least they’d had the sense to lock it away for two thousand years so that Leo could retrieve it. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo tinkered with his sphere, tapping and nudging one of the jewels on its surface. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Now Jason, Leo and Piper had to reverse that scenario. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Hazel averted her eyes, as if Leo made her nervous. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “Either the dream was wrong,” Leo said, “or the giants moved the sword here as a decoy.” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo didn’t have any desire to stare at himself. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z It took a lot to get Leo’s attention away from his work, but that did the trick. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z A poorly aimed arrow sailed over Leo’s head. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z But Leo had done his best, rewiring the sphere to carry out two completely different functions. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Every so often he thought he saw a familiar face - his bully cousin, Raphael; his mean third-grade teacher, Mr Borquin; his abusive foster mom, Teresa - all kinds of people who had treated Leo like dirt. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “This door is giving me fits. Leo, can you try your skill with the lock?” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo, carrying a pack, never seems tired or out of breath. Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z But the tall muscular man next to Leo Tilden—his assistant, Sven, probably—looked fairly perturbed. When Dimple Met Rishi 2017-05-30T00:00:00Z Leo’s new mechanical hoist system had lowered the statue onto the hillside with surprising ease. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Ever since they’d brought the statue aboard, Leo had been obsessed with figuring out how it worked. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “And saving me is a very noble cause,” Leo agreed. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo’s index finger blazed like a birthday candle. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Rishi waved a hand in the general direction of Leo Tilden. When Dimple Met Rishi 2017-05-30T00:00:00Z If she was reading the prophecy right, either Leo or Jason would defeat Gaea. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo agreed with Nemesis about one thing: good luck was a sham. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “Leo,” she said, “about what happened at the Great Salt Lake...” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z He was running for his life through his mother’s old workshop, where she’d died in a fire when Leo was eight. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo got the feeling she wanted to back away from him, but the boulder was too small. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo’s eyes fixed on a supply crate next to Hazel’s feet. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo couldn’t understand the words, but the song was plaintive and bittersweet, as if she were describing a home she could never return to. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Sweating, Leo lifts chicken off the outdoor grill. Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z Looking at her, Leo felt a tugging in his stomach that he couldn’t quite explain. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo got the feeling that the two of them had had private conversations about the House of Hades, and they weren’t sharing all the details. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Every once in a while Festus the figurehead creaked and squeaked through the speakers, reporting the autopilot status in that weird machine language that only Leo could understand. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z The walls shifted and Leo saw her barrelling towards them in her chariot. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z She was wearing red today—Leo’s favorite color. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z ‘So the thing is,’ Leo said as his hands twisted wire, ‘Zeus is already P.O.’ed at you, right? If you help us defeat Gaia, you could make it up to him.’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z She really wished Leo hadn’t enchanted them with images of Camp Half-Blood. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z At the other end of the cavern, the tunnel Hazel and Leo had entered was buried under tons of rubble. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z There may have been more acronyms in the list, but by that point Leo’s brain had exploded. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo must have seen the Argo II sail in. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “And I could always set Coach Hedge on fire,” Leo volunteered. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z The small photograph of Leo was still in the pocket of his wet trousers, and he transferred it for safekeeping into the velvet trousers he was now wearing. The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z They were making a straight line for Raphael’s tomb, and all three were glaring at Leo. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z I held my finger in the air and connected the twinkling dots above the planet, tracing the Leo constellation. Sir Fig Newton and the Science of Persistence 2022-03-22T00:00:00Z Leo brought out his first weapon—a lump of dried chemicals wrapped in aluminum foil—and lit it with his hand. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z The Celestial bronze O-ring slipped out of Leo’s pliers and slid into the depths of the crawl space. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo goes next—as usual, his bad thing is somehow also a good thing—and then Ellen’s up. Red, White & Royal Blue 2019-05-14T00:00:00Z Leo was about to head toward the tables when he glanced to his left and nearly jumped out of his shoes. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo was about to say, What if we refuse to go to the stadium? Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z ‘Maybe, but I can try to make it better. I guess Leo would say I’m acting like a mechanic, doing preventative maintenance.’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo felt as if his ghostly self was thickening, becoming more real. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo patted him on the shoulder and handed him the leather-bound book. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Finally Leo told him to go belowdecks and secure everything for departure. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z If he hadn’t been immune to fire, Leo would have been charcoal. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z She wasn’t as clever as Annabeth, or as good at problem solving as Leo. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z She might be treating them like allies rather than enemies, but Percy could tell Reyna still had a not-so-soft spot for Leo, probably because he’d blown up half the Forum in New Rome. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z The insight was precocious, anticipating as it did the distinction between history as experienced and history as remembered, most famously depicted in Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace. Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation 2000-10-17T00:00:00Z The coach had changed the words to: Gotta Kill 'Em All, and Leo really didn’t want to know why. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z After making sure they were securely bound, Leo dragged the Kerkopes into one corner and began rifling through their treasures. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “I suppose I should go and break my fast before Cook gives away my portion to that scallywag son of hers, Leo!” Ophie's Ghosts 2021-05-18T00:00:00Z Hazel leaped into the pit, pulling Leo with her. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z ‘Yes, but -’ ‘We have to believe in Leo. There is no way he would die so easily. He’s a tough guy.’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z The Argo II was no longer in danger of sinking, though without Leo, they couldn’t do full repairs. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “Those two things don’t go together,” Leo murmured. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo and Frank blocked her from view as best they could. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo would pull just the right tools from his belt and build something to do the job. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z So she pressed the button and listened to the swoosh that meant it was on its way to Leo. When Dimple Met Rishi 2017-05-30T00:00:00Z Leo didn’t need anybody to tell him he was odd man out. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z ‘Leo . Frank choked up. Leo himself wanted to cry like a Valdezinator, but he kept his cool. ‘ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z No one knew what that meant, but Leo could apply it to this sphere. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Only one name overlapped those two lists: Leo. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z I tried to ask Leo, my crippled friend, but he was scared silent by his Beast experience. Beast Rider 2019-03-01T00:00:00Z “It wasn’t your fault, Pipes. Or Leo’s,” he added quickly. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z For some reason, Frank’s disapproval made Leo want to go. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo didn’t know if it could be fixed, but at the moment he was too relieved to care. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z This morning, me, Jay, and Leo took an early hike. Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z Leo remembered their trip together through the House of Hades. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo wondered if Frank and his firewood had something to do with that line. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z She was kneeling in her vegetable garden, her back to Leo. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo felt like he was trying to swallow a marble. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo stops by under the pretense of saying farewell to the Doctorita. The Queen of Water 1996-01-01T00:00:00Z He could run back to the Argo II and get Leo. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Usually Leo could keep his clothes from burning when he caught fire, but it took concentration. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z They wanted to talk about what had happened with Asclepius, but Leo evaded them. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “And I’m the only one besides Leo who can operate it.” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo closed his eyes, but the memory of her smile was already fading. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z It had blazed when he’d first seen Leo Tilden, but it was gone now. When Dimple Met Rishi 2017-05-30T00:00:00Z Inside or outside the cave, Leo was just as much a captive. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “It needs to be a mix from both our camps. Jason, Piper, Leo, and me. That’s four.” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z The brown-furred dwarf in the green bowler was perched on the marble pedestal at Neptune’s feet, just above Leo’s head. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z They’d ended in old Rome with Leo breaking a cookie and paying a price much worse than an eye. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z She could only imagine what Leo and Jason thought when they looked at her. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Then he recalled all the hours Leo had spent working inside the hull over the last few weeks. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Despite the happy reunion, everybody seemed more subdued than usual—like they were picking up on Leo’s mood. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z The monster raised its maw, bellowing in pain, and Leo threw his Greek fire straight down its throat. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo couldn’t even be sure how deep they were. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “Cut the fingertips off them, man,” said Leo, unperturbed. The Secret History 1992-10-16T00:00:00Z Leo could think of all kinds of fun things the statue might do if he had designed it, but the more he examined it, the more frustrated he got. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “I need that piece of magic firewood,” Leo said. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo staggered, suddenly feeling like he was standing on the surface of a trampoline. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo hated to give away a perfectly good Valdezinator for a wildflower, but he saw no other choice. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Somehow, the dwarf had stolen the zipper right off Leo’s pants. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z None of the locals seemed to notice the huge Greek warship hovering over the piazza, or the fact that Jason and Leo had just flown down, Jason wielding a gold sword, and Leo...well, The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo pulled out a can of kerosene and a rubber tube and lashed them to the thirsty new engine that the orb was helping him assemble. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z ‘Leo . Jason’s voice broke. ‘He said he had a plan.’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z ‘And the medications weren’t covered by my plan! And -’ The snake lurched as Leo connected the last two wires. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo had made the lounge as nice as possible, since he figured they’d be spending a lot of time there. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Funny yet cool, I think my grandmother and Leo could be friends. Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z Leo yelled, and he ran for the stairs. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo remembered the time he had met the Hunters of Artemis—a bunch of cute lithe girls in silvery clothes, all armed with bows. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo didn’t have the technical skill to repair it. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “I know, I know,” Leo said, gritting his teeth. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo had heard all about his near-death experience in the nymphaeum in Rome with Jason and Piper. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo also wanted to put as much distance as possible between himself and New Rome. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z In eight minutes, she and Leo needed to be at the Doors of Death to let their friends out. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Meanwhile Leo had done . . . well, pretty much nothing. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Through her tears, Hazel explained how she had switched the physician’s cure for an illusion - a trick of the Mist - so that Leo could keep the real vial. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo could hear the pain in his voice. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z A swirling human figure erupted from the sand—Leo’s least favorite goddess, the Mistress of Mud, the Princess of Potty Sludge, Gaea herself. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Padre Leo rides everywhere on a rickety blue bicycle. Enrique's Journey 2006-02-21T00:00:00Z Leo’s memory was hazy, but while he’d been half conscious, he was pretty sure he’d seen a dragon land on the ship—a dragon that had turned into Frank. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Even then, Leo had trouble focusing on her. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Sending those drawings to Leo Tilden was a good thing. When Dimple Met Rishi 2017-05-30T00:00:00Z Leo had thought she’d meant Narcissus, but now he wondered if the real lesson for him was Echo—invisible to her brethren, cursed to love someone who didn’t care for her. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z The statue was wedged tight in the corridor, so Leo had to climb over the top and wriggle under her limbs, searching for levers and buttons. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo placed his hand on the marble floor. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo had done the same kind of stuff to bullies for years. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Frank, Hazel, and Leo were missing in action. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “No autographs, girls. I know you want some Leo time, but I’m way too cool. You better just hang around that ugly dweeb Narcissus. He’s lame!” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo tried to home in on her features, but he. couldn’t. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Ollie buries his head in his hands, and Leo stares hard at the desk. Girl in the Blue Coat 2016-04-05T00:00:00Z Leo was on his own as the goddess Nike disentangled herself from the wreckage and rose to face him. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo found himself in an open stretch of field. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “Just another minute,” Leo said, his hands flying over the console. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z ‘Please tell me you have a plan,’ Leo said. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo rolled on his back as five golden cords shot from the Neptune statue’s fingers. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “We’ll leave you all your treasure,” Leo said, “except the stuff that belongs to us, and the astrolabe, and this book, which we’ll take back to the dude in Venice.” The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo had programmed their quarters to adjust automatically to the occupant’s preferred temperature, so it was never too cold or too hot. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Nico glanced at Piper and Leo, as if worried what they might say when he was gone. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z It seemed inadequate for the gift Leo had given him, but Leo grinned. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Some kids backed up when Fake Leo burst onto the scene. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “Speaking of Leo, was that a notebook I felt in your pocket before? My hand brushed against it.” When Dimple Met Rishi 2017-05-30T00:00:00Z Leo must have been planning this all along and building a new body for Festus within the framework of the ship. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Once in a while, Leo’s hands drifted to his tool belt. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Directly beneath them the Great Salt Lake glittered like aluminum foil, the shoreline etched with white salt marshes that reminded Leo of aerial photos of Mars. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “Everyone, arm yourself. Leo, get us close, but don’t land—no more contact with the ground than necessary. Piper, Hazel, get the mooring ropes.” The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Coach Hedge trotted up to Percy, with Hazel, Frank, and Leo close behind. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo steered the Argo II away as the pirate vessel disappeared underwater. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z She and Leo started forward, but Clytius raised his hand in an unmistakable gesture—stop. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z As soon as he said Percy’s name, Leo regretted it. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z The worktable was piled with photocopied blueprints from On Spheres, the forgotten Archimedes text Leo had liberated from an underground workshop in Rome. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z When he asked her about the wardrobe change, she claimed she had realized how practical these clothes were after making some for Leo. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo darted to the left, but the Earth Goddess’s laughter followed him. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “Festus to check! Earth goddesses to punch in the face! What are we waiting for? Leo’s back!” The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Suddenly Joseph remembered Leo, and he pulled out the photo from his pocket. The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Leo hoped Hazel was right about the long detour north. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z After raiding a museum full of Confederate ghosts, Leo didn’t think his day could get any worse. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z The raft was already fitted with a mast, so Leo and Calypso hauled their sail aboard and started on the rigging. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “How we expect Leo to beat this giant because he’s...” The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “You cannot escape us, Leo Valdez,” it said. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z ‘Frank, Hazel, Leo... let’s talk. Piper, can you keep our friend musically incapacitated?’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Suddenly Leo found it hard to meet Frank’s gaze. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z From a pocket of his tool belt, Leo produced a piece of white cloth. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z After Coach Hedge left on his shadow-travel expedition, Leo had decided that his three-legged table could do just as good a job as their ‘adult chaperone’. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo left Jason hanging and ran after them. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z A knife, rope, PowerBars, water bottle, compass, first aid kit, a topographical map, my sketchpad, a hardcover novel, and a book Leo gave me on topography. Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z Leo raced down the stairs and found Frank and Hazel safe under their table. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z For now Leo clearly didn’t want to be interrogated. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “No,” she says, and she grabs Leo by the forearm so she can talk directly into the speaker. Red, White & Royal Blue 2019-05-14T00:00:00Z Even when things were super serious, they could always depend on Leo to lighten things up. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Wedged between the layers of the hull with the plumbing and wiring, Leo could be alone with his thoughts. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z For days, Frank had listened to those voices demanding Leo Valdez’s death. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo realized that a much larger figure was looming behind Bythos, with a shadow so wide, it filled the entire cave entrance. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo had promised he would get Hazel and Frank out of the trap. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Percy made it sound like he was just doing Leo a favor, but there’d been an undertone like If you mess with my friend, I will personally feed you to a great white shark. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z If Leo had a family, it was the demigods on the Argo II—and maybe Coach Hedge, which Leo would never admit aloud. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z ‘Man,’ Leo muttered, ‘he was really anxious to practice his Valdezinator.’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo tried to follow and lost his balance. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo knocks on our door almost daily, claiming he has a question for the Doctorita about schoolwork. The Queen of Water 1996-01-01T00:00:00Z She couldn’t move the debris that separated her and Leo from the others. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo stared at the sphere, trying to recall where he’d read or heard about a similar ancient machine. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo’s hands tended to burst into flames when he was nervous. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z When I walk nonchalantly behind Leo, he presses a note into my hand. The Queen of Water 1996-01-01T00:00:00Z Hazel had been sweet on his bisabuelo, a guy who had died when Leo was a baby. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z As for Piper, all she could do was stare at her knife Katoptris, trying to locate Leo, Hazel, and Frank. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z With a little willpower, Leo urged them to move, using the Roman numerals to guide him. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo pulled out his controller and yanked it upward. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Frank and Leo recounted what had happened in the room with the Archimedes spheres, and the visions Gaea had shown them in the bronze mirror. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo sweeps his hand through the air, like he’s a magician conjuring a world. Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z But at the moment, she was just so happy that she paddled over to Leo and kissed him on the cheek, which kind of surprised him. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z What surprised Leo most was the surge of anger he felt. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z I walked over to Leo, threw my arms around him and squeezed once. Maybe He Just Likes You 2019-10-01T00:00:00Z She kept frowning in Piper and Leo’s direction, like she recognized one of them and the memory was painful. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “The camp, yes. Vengeance! The orange and purple ones destroyed my home. Now Ma Gasket will destroy theirs! Do you hear me, Leo? Jason? Piper? I come to annihilate you!” The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z “Like a canary or something. And the first night I was here, I had a fever, and I thought I saw Leo’s ghost.” The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z A cold feeling...Annabeth and Leo had both described a cold feeling.... The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Also, Leo had no clue where he was. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo had heard of a fifth wheel—an extra, useless piece of equipment. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z For a split second, Leo was excited, because he hadn’t expected it to work underwater. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo wasn’t sure, and he wasn’t sure he wanted to know. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z No one paid Ghost Hazel or Leo any attention. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo wondered where it led: probably to the girl’s secret lair, where she roasted her enemies so she could eat them at her dining table on the beach. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo had got better at making spheres, but they still weren’t completely reliable. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Still, Leo imagined he could feel it in there, dragging him down, waiting to be cracked open. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo resisted the urge to set his hand ablaze and yell: Bwah ha ha! The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z The rubble was probably very impressive, but, ever since Olympia, Leo had been on ancient ruins overload. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo could sense the Celestial bronze running through the workshop like arteries from a heart—ready to conduct magical energy from this spot. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z But Leo taught me forests struggle mostly because of people. Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z Leo tried to shove him away, but Passalos did a backward somersault and landed out of reach. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z She touched Leo’s face and made him flinch. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Assuming Leo lived long enough, assuming his crazy secret plan worked, his destiny was with somebody else, on an island that no man ever found twice. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z There was no sign of Coach Hedge, but Leo stood amidships, calmly reloading the ballista. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Dante laughed and slapped Leo on the shoulder. Maybe He Just Likes You 2019-10-01T00:00:00Z Why hadn’t I challenged Leo’s birthday in the first place? Maybe He Just Likes You 2019-10-01T00:00:00Z Leo looked like he was made of fire. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “Oh, just another brilliant plan by Leo Valdez. You’d be amazed what you can do with an Archimedes sphere, a girl who can sense stuff underground, and a weasel.” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z He introduced Reyna to Piper, who looked a little miffed that she hadn’t gotten to say the lines she’d been practicing, then to Leo, who grinned and flashed a peace sign. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z She worried that Leo would turn the wrong combination on the sphere and accidentally eject them all from the deck, or blow up the ship, or turn the Argo II into a giant toaster. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “Leo”—he was pointing—“you asked me what was going on, I told you.” Stargirl 2000-08-08T00:00:00Z Hecate expected her to defeat some super-powerful sorceress—the lady in the gold dress, whom Leo had described from his dream. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z "We do lots of things," Leo interjects, opening the jar of pickles I set down and fishing one out. Girl in the Blue Coat 2016-04-05T00:00:00Z After his dreams last night, Leo could use some calm. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z The victory celebration at camp was muted, due to grief- not just for Leo but also for the many others who had died in battle. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Then, for good measure, Leo turned the dial on his Archimedes sphere, which unleashed a plume of foul white fog that filled the room. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Jason imagined his friends on deck following his progress, taking turns with Leo’s spyglass, trying not to laugh as they watched Grandpa Jason hobble uphill. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “Just chuck it down its—” Suddenly Leo was crushed against Hazel, and the world turned sideways. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo’s hands flew over the sphere, reassembling its missing pieces. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Alex’s mother accepts a kiss to the side of her square jaw from Leo as she passes by, like a queen gliding through a crowd of admirers. Red, White & Royal Blue 2019-05-14T00:00:00Z “Jay, can you grab me a coffee? Black,” says Leo as if it’s the most natural thing. Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z Leo had almost forgotten why they’d come down here in the first place. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo struggled to his feet, coughing like an asthmatic. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo Szilard and Eugene Wigner—the ones who’d triggered the Manhattan Project by convincing Albert Einstein to warn President Roosevelt of the danger of atomic bombs—came to watch. Bomb 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z Leo Szilard felt deeply the difficulty of balancing the imperative to build the bomb with humanitarian concerns about its use. Big Science 2015-07-07T00:00:00Z The vision seemed so vivid, but then Joseph remembered Leo wasn’t real, and the boy dissolved like smoke into the winter sky. The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z “Leo, since when do we have jet propulsion?” The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z ‘I can’t read it that far away. The doctor IS . ‘Incarcerated,’ Leo said. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z "Nothing to tell. Leo's got a few other ideas, but basically, we ran out of science. Sort of hit a theoretical dead end." Things Not Seen 2002-01-01T00:00:00Z With the oars damaged and the foresail torn, Leo could barely manage a controlled descent. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo remembered what Hazel had said—that his fire made Frank nervous. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Every time Leo thought about slowing down, the metal ladies screamed again - what had Nike called them? Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z She’d asked Leo to send one of his special inventions—a holographic scroll—to alert their friends inside the camp. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z These days Leo spent most of his time poking around until he found trouble. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z He made sure to enunciate and face Leo the entire time. When Dimple Met Rishi 2017-05-30T00:00:00Z Leo turned and found himself face-to-face with Lima Bean Man, who wasn’t actually a man at all. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z After dinner broke up, Jason and Piper tried to waylay Leo. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z But a second later Callum, Leo, and Dante stepped inside, laughing in a rowdy way that for some reason made my stomach knot. Maybe He Just Likes You 2019-10-01T00:00:00Z “Leo says global warming will make it harder for them to shed their skin or have babies. Too much heat, they’ll die.” Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z Leo punched some buttons and spun his Archimedes sphere. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo ran down the hall waving a wrench. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z ‘Too late to turn back now,’ Leo said. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo had no idea who any of those people were. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo clutched his Archimedes sphere as a funnel cloud of sleet lifted him off his feet. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Frank patted Leo on the back so hard it made him wince. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Like a big kid, Leo, legs crossed, sits on the ground. Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z “What do you want to do with them, Leo? Send them to Tartarus?” The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z In the main house there’s a single light—Leo’s office. Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z “Yeah, we know all about it,” Leo promised. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Hazel climbed into the saddle, hoisted up the bronze, and offered Leo a hand. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo pulled a Ziploc bag from his tool belt and dug his hand into the lime. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “And a waterslide!” said Brown Fur, who was pulling random tools out of Leo’s belt, tossing aside wrenches, hammers, and staple guns. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo. could hear him wheezing in the dark. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo shakes like he’s inside a bad dream. Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z “Oh, man,” Leo said when he had finished the story. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo would have laughed if he hadn’t felt so bad. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Jason still didn’t understand how Leo had managed to remake the dragon. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z A moment later Spike belched out a new vial - a stoppered glass tube no bigger than Leo’s finger. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Another volley of Earthborn rocks hit the Argo II. This time Leo couldn’t return fire fast enough. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Annabeth watched in horror as Jason—obviously dazed and in pain—lunged for Leo, caught him, then struggled to gain altitude. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z How to explain Leo’s taught me a lot? Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z She would never wear clothes like that, and she was still down in Houston, as far as Leo knew. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z If this flashback was something Frank had shared with Hazel...well, either Leo didn’t want any part of it, or he definitely wanted to try it. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Artemis’s pale eyes made Leo feel like he was a deer carcass about to be gutted. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “So, with this detour,” Leo said, “I’m estimating four or five days to arrive at Epirus, assuming no delays for, you know, monster attacks and stuff.” The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Her hair reminded Leo of a place in Houston that made excellent churros. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Because the two of us were such close friends; so obviously, I knew how much she liked Leo, how she worried he didn’t like her back. Maybe He Just Likes You 2019-10-01T00:00:00Z Um, well,’ Leo said, ‘this is quite simply the most amazing instrument ever!’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Even among the Hephaestus campers, Leo had never worked with anyone as intuitive as this immortal gardener girl. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo had been experimenting with all sorts of weapons based on the Archimedes sphere that he’d recovered in Rome. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Get Leo to drive me to the airport. Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z Over in the bow, Leo whistled happily as he tinkered with Festus’s mechanical brain, muttering something about a crystal and an astrolabe. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo spun his Wii controller in a circle, and the sails lowered themselves. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Then, if Wolf Head truly knew Leo’s mind, he would decide there were other ways to force his cooperation. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z At least then Leo would have some idea of how to help his best friend. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z The peaceful scene was almost enough to lift Leo’s spirits. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo tried to grab the dwarfs feet, but he couldn’t reach the top of the pedestal. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z As for you, Leo Valdez -’ The goddess turned those cold silver eyes on him. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Midday, Leo sets a serving table on the porch. Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z "I can't believe you would be so stupid," Leo snarls at Mina. Girl in the Blue Coat 2016-04-05T00:00:00Z As the others made fast the aerial moorings, Leo grabbed Frank and Hazel by the arms. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “You guys help Leo. I’ll hold off the water spirits as long as I can.” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo’s heart sank when he looked at how much coastline they still had to navigate. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Well, aside from the fact that last winter he’d lost everything except his head—but Leo didn’t count that. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo lunged to help them, but the two armored manikins that couldn’t possibly move did move. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Percy and Annabeth went ashore to scout while Leo stayed on the quarterdeck, fine-tuning the control console. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “Through the smoke, Leo managed to find his grandfather, who was choking Leo grabbed his hand and pulled him forwards, but just then, there was a terrible sound and something broke above him and...” The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z The drawing was signed at the bottom: Leo. The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Like clockwork, we go to Leo’s office, sit in front of his computer. Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z Unfortunately, Hazel guessed, judging from their last two encounters, Leo’s newest weapon had only annoyed the numina. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “Uncle Leo’s still got a few tricks up his sleeves!” The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Frank studied Hazel and Leo carefully, as if trying to read what they’d been talking about. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z The next morning, I left, preferring a quieter death at Leo’s to being murdered in my bed. The Secret History 1992-10-16T00:00:00Z Several scenarios went through Leo’s head—none of them good. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z The giant turned from Leo and the others. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z A pint of blood drained from Leo’s face. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo remembered his conversation with Nemesis the revenge goddess at the Great Salt Lake. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Dad says he was a Pope, Leo the Thirteenth, a great friend of the workingman. Angela's Ashes: A Memoir 1996-09-05T00:00:00Z A puff of steam shot from the stairwell, and Leo’s automatic table climbed on deck. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo doubted the poor guy could pop a spark plug in the shape he was in. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z I’ve learned Leo sets the cabin fires, placing logs, positioning grates. Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z Leo allowed himself a couple more minutes to fasten the brace. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo didn’t like the sound of determine the truth. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “So No-Last-Name-Leo is Filipino or Korean or something. I’ll have to call Principal Jackson over at Cesar Chavez and see who this Leo is.” Shooting Kabul 2010-06-22T00:00:00Z The crew compared notes on what had happened in Salt Lake City, but even Leo’s ridiculous story about how he tricked Narcissus wasn’t enough to cheer up the group. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Fake Leo was the same height as Regular Leo—meaning he was short. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z He ran up to Leo’s room, took off his wet clothes, and laid them out in front of the fire. The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Leo hadn’t even noticed, which surprised him, since he liked food. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “Leo Valdez deserved a special punishment,” she said. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “Leo, listen to the girl. War is coming. Gaea has seen to it, with your help. And can you guess whom the gods blame for their predicament?” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z It was surrounded by a bubble of air, which Leo hoped would keep the brownies from turning into saltwater fudge sludge. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “My name’s Lee Rhynor. It’s really Leo but everybody says ‘Lee.’ A Tree Grows in Brooklyn 1943-01-01T00:00:00Z “The big ship is not ready. Leo says tomorrow, maybe two days. Then they will come.” The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z “Leo built the stables so pegasi could come and go easily.” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo slammed both gates shut and summoned fire to his hands, fusing the locks. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z ‘So let’s wheel and deal, Music Man,’ Leo said. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z The sea glittered with chop, but Leo had fixed the stabilizers well enough that Hazel didn’t look too seasick. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z And even though it was only an echo, Leo could tell that she meant it. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z If Albert was surprised to see Joseph return to the dining room in Leo’s clothing, he didn’t show it. The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Leo could imagine her response: I am not waiting for you, Leo Valdez. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Jason, Leo, and she had had an encounter with the maenads a few months ago and almost gotten torn to pieces. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “Were setting down in that park,” Leo announced, pointing to a wide green space dotted with palm trees. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “Goodbye, Leo,” I say, pressing the note into his palm. The Queen of Water 1996-01-01T00:00:00Z Since they’d started dating, their idea of “quality time” didn’t include Leo. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z I told you we could do business, Leo Valdez. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo ducked as the metal circlet spun over his head. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo tapped his fingers on the table, like some of his old energy was coming back. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z He and Leo had just searched the museum. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo was afraid he had said something wrong, but Aphros pulled some seaweed yarn from his pouch and started knitting. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo had trouble getting his bearings, but he guessed that was part of Hazel’s plan. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo looked around for something to throw, but there was nothing but pigeons, and he doubted he could catch one. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z She climbed down the boulder, and Leo followed. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo guessed a GPS would have been useless too. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo looked for Echo again, but she had dissolved into the scenery. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Back in Houston, Leo used to live with his mom in an apartment right off the Gulf Freeway. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Over Leo’s head, the marble floor shuddered, like fat touristy feet were kicking it. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z I smile, remembering Ryder hopping on his hind legs, his front paws clawing the air, and Leo, hands on hips, nodding, encouraging me. Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z Somehow, Hazel’s power to revisit the past had found the one event that connected both of their lives—where Leo’s time line touched Hazel’s. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z And, yes, Leo had always been more comfortable with machines than people. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z In Olympia, Nike had warned that one of the four demigods present would die: Percy, Hazel, Frank or Leo. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Hazel saw Leo, unconscious—or dead—falling through the clouds. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo must have programmed the weapons with surgical precision. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Once in the engine room, with only Buford the Wonder Table for company, Leo took a deep breath. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “The one Leo saw in his dream? What was her name?” The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Percy called, but Leo plunged through the maze, his heart pounding. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo wanted to think that an old Chinese belief couldn’t have anything to do with the Romans and the Greeks. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo wished he could pluck that memory out of his head and shove it in his tool belt. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z She pulled Leo down a side corridor, leaped over a trip wire, then stumbled to a halt in front of a pit twenty feet across. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z He gripped his trident loosely in his right hand and stretched his left hand out like he was blessing Leo, or possibly attempting to levitate him. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo tapped his fingers nervously on the table. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z You will always be the outsider, warned Nemesis’s voice; but Leo tried to push that thought aside. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “You know,” Annabeth said, “Leo doesn’t intend to be mean. He’s just got a big mouth. When people make him nervous, he uses humor as a defense.” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z By the time Annabeth came up on deck, Jason, Frank, and Leo had already left for the museum. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z On the other hand, Leo’s tool-belt pockets were full of dangerous toys. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “Well, then, Leo fall down, go boom. Let’s find out!” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Jason was still hacking away at the turtle’s face, but when he heard Leo say I have an idea, he made the only smart choice. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z For the moment, he’d totally forgotten about the pond, and Leo could see the sheet of bronze sinking into the sand. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “Leo,” Hazel chided, “it’s not a shopping trip.” The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Which was why they had to find Leo. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z He was maybe four feet tall, even shorter than Coach Hedge, with bowed legs and chimp-like feet, his clothes so loud they gave Leo vertigo. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z When she hasn't shown up ten minutes later, Leo says that he wants Judith's other one. Girl in the Blue Coat 2016-04-05T00:00:00Z “We don’t have your permission to leave, my lord. Also, our ship is damaged. We need our mechanic, Leo Valdez, to repair the engine, unless you know of another way.” The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “And it all snowballs. You saw that—Kevin wanted me to apply there. Leo Tilden wanted to see my sketches. Much ado about nothing.” When Dimple Met Rishi 2017-05-30T00:00:00Z Leo leaves, and he’s quickly replaced by Zahra, whose sleek red dress and ever-present coffee thermos are the biggest comfort Alex has seen all night. Red, White & Royal Blue 2019-05-14T00:00:00Z While Leo fussed over his helm controls, Hazel and Frank related the story of the fish-centaurs and their training camp. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z ‘Leo, did you have a dream about this or something?’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Jason summoned the winds and whisked Piper and Leo down to the surface. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo could only hear the roar of blood in his ears. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo could see flickers of movement inside, but it was eerily quiet. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “Well done, Frank Zhang,” Leo said dryly, doing his impression of Chiron the centaur. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z She looked a little green, though Leo wasn’t sure if that was from the rocking of the boat or from arguing. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z When Leo turned to tell Apollo goodbye, the god was gone, too. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z While Frank and Hazel tended to Blackjack, Annabeth and Leo helped get Piper and the boys to the sickbay. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z After all, Leo had started the war with Camp Jupiter by firing a ballista into the Forum. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z ‘This is Leo we’re talking about. He might come back any minute. Then we can take turns strangling him.’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z She wondered if Leo was pulling another joke. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z As the pile of drawings grew smaller, Joseph prayed the story wouldn’t end before he could finally find out what happened to Leo. The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Leo, for his part, is unfazed and mollifies her with compliments between fits of tinsel. Red, White & Royal Blue 2019-05-14T00:00:00Z Not for the first time, Leo was struck by how similar Greece was to his home state of Texas - the low hills, the scrubby trees, the drone of cicadas and the oppressive summer heat. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z He faltered when he looked at Leo, who was mimicking taking notes with an air pencil. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo ran his hands along the surface, sensing tiny buttons and levers awaiting his commands. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo had pinned her portrait next to the drawing of the Argo II to remind himself that sometimes visions do come true. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z He opened the wardrobe and saw all of Leo’s clothing, hanging clean and dry. The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Leo scoured the aisles, looking for things he could use. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “I’m worried about Leo and this fight with Clytius,” she said. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z And if Leo heard Dante’s comment, you couldn’t tell. Maybe He Just Likes You 2019-10-01T00:00:00Z Leo swept his flashlight across the Celestial bronze plates and pistons he’d been installing slowly but surely. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “Can I ask you something? Do you think it's possible that Leo was right—the boys were just fooling around? And maybe you were being a little too sensitive?” Maybe He Just Likes You 2019-10-01T00:00:00Z It happened so quickly, Annabeth thought she’d imagined it; but just for a moment someone else seemed to be standing in Leo’s place, smiling coldly with a cruel light in his eyes. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z As soon as Leo rejoined the crew in Malta, she’d known right away that Leo was hurting inside. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo saw Octavian—that no-good blond scarecrow of an augur. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z They gathered on the quarterdeck so Leo could hear the conversation as he navigated. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo closed the top of the sphere and studied its concentric circles—similar to the ones on the workshop door. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Señora Sanchez told me to partner with Leo. Maybe He Just Likes You 2019-10-01T00:00:00Z Which meant Leo had to get up there and look for them. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Instead, Fake Leo put the top of the dunce cap to his mouth like a megaphone and yelled, “CUT!” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo rested his hand on the Archimedes sphere, which now sat on the helm, ready to be installed. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo remembered all too well how she’d led him through the illusionary maze in the House of Hades. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Frank was still below, but Leo almost wished the big guy would come up the stairs. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z ‘Or those dwarfs in Bologna. Leo took them down with a homemade smoke grenade made from toothpaste.’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo figured there had to be more to it than just symbolism. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo bounded up the steps, with Jason and Frank behind him. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Why would Leo want me to see this? Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z Then she took my arm as if we were strolling down a promenade and she said, “Scream, Leo.” Stargirl 2000-08-08T00:00:00Z It reminded Leo of those tunnels that football teams run through when they enter the field. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Or perhaps it had unnecessarily cost Leo Valdez his life. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Aphros’s lobster-claw horns kept swimming around in his thick hair, and Leo had to resist the urge to try to rescue them. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo had a terrifying image of his Aunt Rosa and some old Chinese woman in wrestlers’ outfits, whaling on each other with spiked clubs. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Rapidly, I blink back tears as Leo speaks. Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z Her voice was harder than Leo had ever heard. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z They’d started this voyage with Leo messing up, firing on New Rome. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “Stupid, and Roman don’t always go together, Leo.” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Frank seemed way more powerful and scary than Leo was. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo wondered if that price would ever be paid. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Being a branch on the same family tree as Leo made sense to him, and this strange new history made Joseph suddenly feel more alive, more real, and not quite so lost. The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Leo opened her door and poked his head in. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “Hope it’s like this tomorrow when we shoot,” said Leo. Dog Squad 2021-05-11T00:00:00Z Leo told them about his new hobby as a genius inventor of musical funnels. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo had lost sight of Echo again, but now he realized she was kneeling on the other side of Narcissus, waving her hand in front of his face as if trying to break his concentration. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z He’d been chewing on the idea for days, ever since Jason came back from the bottom of the sea and Leo started talking with Nike. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z ‘Leo would blast the top of the hill with Greek fire. Maybe, if you guys helped me, I could walk -’ ‘Absolutely not,’ Piper objected. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z As long as he had his tool belt, Leo Valdez wasn’t going to sit around helplessly watching the Demigod Death Channel. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z As soon as he joined Leo, Callum, and Dante, I could hear them make whooping noises as they smacked him on the back. Maybe He Just Likes You 2019-10-01T00:00:00Z Leo felt more like a ghost than ever. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z The ham-fisted Romans had almost ruined the tension adjuster, but Leo pulled a set of watchmaker’s tools from his belt and did some final calibrations. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Also ... the plan sounded exactly like the sneaky, twisted, ridiculously annoying and noble sort of thing Leo Valdez would do. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo came out of his cabin then, and I asked him if he’d been eating oranges and juicing them and throwing the peels into the kennel; I knew better, but I asked anyway. This Side of Wild 2015-09-29T00:00:00Z Leo wasn’t sure what that meant, but they took their leave. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z She was just explaining Leo’s plan to fix the ship when she heard horse hooves clomping across the deck over their heads. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z ‘So we believe. Leo has to be alive.’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Moments later, Leo and Hazel stumbled to a stop in the doorway, carrying a large sheet of hammered bronze between them. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z The last thing Leo wanted was some alone time with the monkey dwarfs, but the Kerkopes were already disappearing around the far corner of the piazza. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z ‘Okay, do not call me Aquaman. That’s even worse than water boy! Leo turned to Jason and Piper. ‘You guys remember the giant Archimedes grabber arm I told you I was building?’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo had noticed that Percy seemed to get winded more easily these days - probably because of that nasty acid air he’d been forced to breathe in Tartarus. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Frank barked, which Leo figured was probably severe profanity for him. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Jason was feeling good about the battle, except for two big questions: Where was Leo? Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “Did you hug Leo on the bus just before? Like we did for Omi yesterday?” Maybe He Just Likes You 2019-10-01T00:00:00Z Leo’s fear suddenly made way for a whole lot of anger. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo couldn’t stop grinning and muttering, “Classic. Classic.” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z She focused on Leo because he was the least intimidating. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z ‘Like making stones fly,’ Leo said, ‘or eating only one Fonzie.’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “I’m proud to have you on Team Leo,” he said. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo jiggled the manikin’s head, making it nod like it was agreeing with him. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo didn’t hold out much hope that they could find what they needed all in one place, but they had to try. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z It didn’t kill, but it left Leo feeling like he’d just done a belly flop off the deep end. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo had had a lot of practice dodging mechanical monsters, which was good, because the golden serpent was fast. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo’s chest felt like it might implode from guilt. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo’s brain was still kind of muddled from the crash landing. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z But this time, Leo was convinced, there was no other way. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z In the firelight, her eyes looked so sad, Leo couldn’t stand it. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z No wonder Hazel had looked at Leo so strangely when they first met. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z In another reality, Leo might’ve enjoyed a walk on the beach with a pretty girl, but the farther they went, the edgier he felt. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Aunt Rosa would force Leo to stay for a picnic, as if hanging out with dead people were good for his appetite. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z She stopped in front of Leo and turned, spreading her arms as if she meant to personally shield him. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z The path opened into the nicest garden Leo had ever seen. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo pulled a hammer from his tool belt. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z That could be why Calypso was still stuck here, and why the magic raft wouldn’t appear for Leo. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Padre Leo takes down the migrants’ information, then gives them a meal card or arranges to pick up money wired by relatives in the United States. Enrique's Journey 2006-02-21T00:00:00Z Leo wasn’t sure what to make of her faraway tone. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo was holding on to the eagle’s feet, and even from the ship, Annabeth could hear him screaming and cursing. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo could admire the intricate workmanship, but it was too much, too bright, too flashy. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo doubted Hazel would consider that a compliment, but, as far as humans went, Hazel was first-rate craftsmanship. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo waved his hands at the stuff on the tables. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo wished he could invent a time machine. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Piper patted Leo’s arm, like she couldn’t believe he was really here. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo summoned a white-hot ball of fire into his right hand. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z But Leo walks fast; it’s hard to keep up. Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z “Nah, we could start our own shop,” Leo said, surprising himself. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo didn’t like the way Nico said that, as if he wasn’t sharing all his doubts. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z On Leo’s right, the suit of armor with a lion’s head helmet creaked its wiry neck and regarded Hazel and Frank, who were still lying unconscious. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z ‘This isn’t sounding like much of a deal,’ Leo said. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo was used to not being noticed by girls. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z If that black smoke could incapacitate Leo so quickly, what chance did she have? The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “These letters are Greek,” Leo said in surprise. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Nothing seemed to change in the big grassy field beyond, but Leo was sure Hazel had some Mistalicious tricks up her sleeve. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z As Leo watched, a wild gryphon dived out of the clouds. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo hadn’t changed much since then, except he seemed more comfortable in his role as a child of Hephaestus. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z But Leo still had to deduce the right sequence to activate this control sphere. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z And assuming Leo’s doomsday candles didn’t go off by accident - Leo’s inventions sometimes did that - in which case the weather would get much hotter, with a ninety percent chance of fiery apocalypse. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z He wanted to strangle Leo and demand why the Argo II hadn’t sailed off to rescue Annabeth first, but he thought that might sound a little ungrateful. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo didn’t want to make Hazel miserable all over again, but this was different. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z They constantly drifted, as if Leo was trying to spot something over the horizon. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Her sandy robes shifted and folded, reminding Leo of the undulating fins on that stupid shrimpzilla monster they’d fought in the Atlantic. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Its title was in gold leaf, in a language Leo couldn’t understand, but nothing else about the book seemed shiny. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo checked his compass and GPS, and a grin spread across his face. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Me and Leo sit side by side, staring at light and colors radiating from the computer screen. Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z Now Leo spoke with the same kind of confidence. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo wanted to protest, but Echo leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek, then pushed him gently away. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo didn’t feel very courageous, but he forced a smile. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo wanted to call to her, but the sail caught the full force of the wind, and the raft cleared the beach. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo’s lungs filled so fast, he thought they might burst. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z The boys’ attention—including Leo’s—was the opposite of flattering. Maybe He Just Likes You 2019-10-01T00:00:00Z Leo decided he didn’t look so much like Chiron. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z He stumbled into the table and went face-first into Leo’s plate of scrambled eggs. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Switch out the ancient columns and ruined temples for cows and barbed wire, and Leo would’ve felt right at home. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z A ninja girl camouflaged in earth tones didn’t strike Leo as something he wanted to deal with just then. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Frank didn’t like the gleam in Leo’s eye. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z The best thing she and Leo could do was carry on. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z That tunnel must have represented the House of Hades, which Leo would never see now. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z He knew from Leo’s YouTube videos that the artist was fitted with a cochlear implant, which allowed him to hear, but not quite at the level of a hearing person. When Dimple Met Rishi 2017-05-30T00:00:00Z Dazed with grief, Leo and the others carefully loaded the Athena Parthenos into the hold, using the ship’s hydraulic winches with an assist from Frank Zhang, part-time elephant. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Jason had never really considered how important Leo’s sense of humor was to the group. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo’s gold sphere was sitting on top of its sawed-open head, picking through its gears and wires like it was scooping out a pumpkin. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z When I got to the band room, Leo was in my seat, talking to Callum and Dante. Maybe He Just Likes You 2019-10-01T00:00:00Z Leo could only hope they were still up there. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo promised to behave— and then ignored the warning. Enrique's Journey 2006-02-21T00:00:00Z “Leo. Leo who? We’re his summer project. Black city kids—‘Let’s show them what they can’t do,’ ” he mocks, furious, hopping on his good foot. Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z But Frank somehow knew this wasn’t a problem for Leo. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z As Leo and Octavian headed for the rope ladder, she thought about calling them back—but how could she explain that? The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Hazel could tell that Leo was trying hard not to make a joke. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo looked around to make sure they weren’t being watched. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo tried to muster a joke, or at least a smile, but he couldn’t. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z ‘If the statue engulfs people in fire, we should send Leo.’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z At the other end of the room, Leo tried to force-feed Percy some ambrosia, though Percy was still pretty much out of it. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Passalos glanced at the Archimedes sphere, which had rolled between Leo’s feet. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo had a weird memory of a missile hurtling towards him and screaming like a little girl. . . what the heck had that been about? Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z The metal door swung open, and Leo settled to the floor. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Unfortunately, when Frank mentioned Temple of Zeus and statue, Leo’s brain had made a connection. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z ‘He couldn’t have taken the physician’s cure. Nothing could have survived that explosion. I thought... I thought I was helping Leo. I messed up.’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z When it finally came—three giant pink bubbles bursting at the surface off the starboard bow and ejecting Frank, Hazel, and Leo—Piper went a little crazy. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Either the door could only be opened by magic or sheer force was required—neither of which was Leo’s specialty. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Most of the tour groups were gawking at the dome, but one trio made Leo uneasy. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo recognized her with no problem, though she looked about two years younger than now. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z There's something wrong with me for thinking like this, for wishing bad luck to Leo, but I know everything in life has to have a trade. Girl in the Blue Coat 2016-04-05T00:00:00Z Leo tossed the pouch to Frank, who almost fumbled it. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Suddenly Leo got an idea so incredible that his nose burst into flames. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z He’d seen the discomfort in Frank’s face before, but Leo hadn’t taken it seriously. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo says, “It’ll be decades. Maybe a hundred years before the forest flourishes again.” Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z “And how are Leo and Nicole?” my dad asks, mouth twitching around the edges of his fork. Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda 2015-03-25T00:00:00Z Joseph imagined Leo, perhaps a century ago, looking up at this same angel and drawing it on a small scrap of paper. The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Just as Leo finished his modifications, a big storm goddess came along and smacked the grommets right out of his ship. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Joseph had felt a connection to Leo the first moment he’d seen his photograph, and now he wished he could have met Leo, to tell him he felt the same way. The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Leo counted silently to three, then tossed the sphere at the goddess’s feet. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo figured it also made the dome lighter and easier to support. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo could still see open sky above him, but claustrophobia started to set in, making it hard for him to breathe. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z I couldn’t tell if she felt weird about Leo not teasing her back, or if she’d even noticed. Maybe He Just Likes You 2019-10-01T00:00:00Z “Grass, feathers, and twigs,” says Leo, “make for a soft center.” Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z ‘Is there something wrong with Leo or not?’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “See? She’s okay with it. I told you,” Leo said to Tobias, who was smiling, even though his neck was turning red. Maybe He Just Likes You 2019-10-01T00:00:00Z Once she was gone, Leo and Frank stared at each other. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo had to get the spheres and scrolls safely out of here. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo wasn’t even her target, but Piper’s charmspeak washed over him irresistibly. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo had trouble even thinking of him as part of the same camp. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z The control sphere in Leo’s hand grew uncomfortably warm. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z We were so excited that instead of going to the public library after school to study, we drove straight to Leo’s Drive-in on North Broadway to celebrate. Breaking Through 2001-08-27T00:00:00Z Before they left the ship, Leo had given each of them an emergency flare the size of a birthday candle. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Padre Leo gave up the two-bedroom priest’s apartment attached to the church so that female migrants would have a place to sleep. Enrique's Journey 2006-02-21T00:00:00Z The engine coughed, and Leo tilted sideways, slicing through the air. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z ‘Victory is always dangerous. And it often requires sacrifice. Leo Valdez and I have discussed this.’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z ‘Oh, I see . The doctor’s expression said, I am so, so sorry. Leo’s heart filled with cement. If he’d harboured any last hopes of avoiding what was to come, they now sank. ‘ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo had been tapping the wall with a ball-peen hammer, but he turned and frowned at her. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “I can start chopping wood into boards tomorrow,” Leo said. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z For all Leo knew, a century had passed in the real world, and the war with Gaea was over for better or worse. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “The scroll is from Leo. He is funny and small.” The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z He was using Morse code, just like Leo’s mother used to do with him...and the old man was tapping the same message: I love you. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo didn’t usually think of the ukulele as a sad instrument. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z After the explosion, Piper and Jason - free-falling and unconscious - were plucked out of the sky by giant eagles and brought to safety, but Leo did not reappear. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “This is Leo. It’s a black-and-white photograph of him, but see how someone coloured his hair red? Maybe he was Oberon and Eleanora’s son. That would make his name Leo Marvel!” The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Just then Stargirl lifted one of Cinnamon’s front paws and waved it at the control room and said in a squeaky voice, “Hi, Leo.” Stargirl 2000-08-08T00:00:00Z She worried that the giant Clytius had been put in their path to eliminate Leo as a threat. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo was just forming the thought Where's the other dwarf? when he heard a click behind him and realized he’d led his friends into a trap. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z If Leo couldn’t control his own senses, his own voice, his own body . . . that didn’t leave him much to rely on. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Yet with his rolled-up plaid sleeves, gray hair, and beard, Mr. Leo seems just Leo. Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z Leo tossed him Piper’s dagger, then kept rummaging through the bags of dwarf shinies. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z In the engine room below, it sounded like Leo and the others were doing an Irish line dance with anvils tied to their feet. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z He could understand why Fake Leo wasn’t wearing it. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo didn’t seem so intent on teasing Frank. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo traced his finger down the map of Italy. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Frankie and her parents walked right behind Joseph, who was wearing one of Leo’s black velvet suits, even though he was quickly outgrowing it. The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z “I’ll help you, Frank,” she said, shooting Leo an evil look. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z She promised she’d make Carlos take us to his cousin Leo’s house because he’s a Chicago cop and might be able to help with Olga. I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter 2017-10-17T00:00:00Z They kidded him, calling him Admiral, but for once Leo accepted the title. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “She said Hazel’s great danger would not happen in my lifetime. But I promised I would be there for her. You will have to tell her I’m sorry, Leo. Help her if you can.” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Her knitted brow and the downward turn of her mouth seemed to say, Leo Valdez, you are so full of it. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z I managed to avoid her by taking different routes between classes, but she found me after school, came shouting after me as I tried to slink away: “Leo! Leo!” Stargirl 2000-08-08T00:00:00Z One last twist of the sphere, and Leo sent a massive jolt through the system. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo had to remain standing, which was fine with him. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Until this moment, Leo hadn’t realized how much he’d resented Percy. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z That made Leo even more curious, but he decided it might be better not to press her. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Dad and Leo are pawing through a mound of paper on the breakfast table, the contents of three or four fat folders from the cabinet above the wall oven. Things Not Seen 2002-01-01T00:00:00Z Jenny was sharing coffee and bagels with the Dog Squad creator, Leo Espinosa, at the nearby picnic table. Dog Squad 2021-05-11T00:00:00Z “One basketball to rule them all,” Leo muttered. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “Maybe it’s just curious about the ship. Maybe—” The monster’s tendrils lashed across the deck so fast, Leo didn’t even have time to yell, Look out! The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo was tempted to ask where Aphros was taking him, but the big sword strapped to the centaur’s back sort of discouraged conversation. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo’s arms were free, but it was all he could do to keep hold of his Greek fire vial. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z They laughed and told stories about Leo Valdez, their best friend. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z In the rearview mirror, Leo winks at me. Paradise on Fire 2021-09-14T00:00:00Z The weirdness hadn’t fully registered yet, but now, trying to explain it aloud, Leo could hardly believe it. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z The whole ocean heaved under them, and now for the first time Leo felt as if they were totally adrift. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo was dragged across the deck, half-conscious and groaning, and dumped on a pile of ropes. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z But I was pretty sure I recognized two of them: Leo and Callum. Maybe He Just Likes You 2019-10-01T00:00:00Z To clothe the migrants, he circumvents Mexican Customs, which inspects cars and confiscates used clothing coming into the country, in what Padre Leo believes is an attempt to protect Mexican clothing manufacturers. Enrique's Journey 2006-02-21T00:00:00Z But in the dream, Leo had been given a choice. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “Zara messed up, I know. She should have listened better, she shouldn’t have acted that way with Leo, and she always blows up too fast. But please don’t be angry with her, okay?” Maybe He Just Likes You 2019-10-01T00:00:00Z She kept shuddering and splitting, making Leo dizzy. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo couldn’t close his eyes without seeing her. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z I played “Hi, Leo” over and over in my head. Stargirl 2000-08-08T00:00:00Z The tall boy, Leo, says, “Hey, will you help us study, Virginia?” The Queen of Water 1996-01-01T00:00:00Z He decided he didn’t like that ending to the Epic Ballad of Leo. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Also, Leo kept thinking about his meeting with the revenge goddess Nemesis at the Great Salt Lake. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo bit his lip, determined not to smile. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Instead of advancing on Hazel and Leo, he marched up the opposite stairs and faced his comrade. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z She was awesome and cute, and Leo had a weakness for awesome cute girls. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Every once in a while, he would glance over at Leo and Frank like he found their presence distasteful. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Her curly cinnamon-colored hair was tied back in a bandana, which gave her a commando look that Leo found kind of hot—and then immediately felt guilty about. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z He supposed that came from hanging around Jason—tall, blond, rugged, and basically everything Leo could never be. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Then Annabeth blinked, and Leo was just regular old Leo again, with his usual impish grin. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo thought about his least favorite line in the Prophecy of Seven: To storm or fire the world must fall. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo thought: You should’ve seen him when he had a body. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z ‘Leo,’ Frank said grimly, ‘you got duct tape?’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z He has already sensed what people in Nuevo Laredo know: when it comes to migrants, Padre Leo’s heart is bigger than his collections. Enrique's Journey 2006-02-21T00:00:00Z She stood on the quarterdeck as Nico picked mast splinters out of his arms and Leo punched buttons on the ship’s console. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Judging from their half-eaten breakfasts, the others still felt uneasy; but Leo managed to shake them out of it. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo checked the ancient bronze astrolabe, which was now fitted with the crystal from Ogygia. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo had lashed himself to the console with a bungee cord harness. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Amazingly, the hippie, whose name was Leo, was quite angry that I didn’t spend more time carving mandolin struts or warping boards or whatever it was I was supposed to be doing up there. The Secret History 1992-10-16T00:00:00Z He also noticed the baleful look Frank was giving Leo. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo wanted to throttle the dwarfs, but he forced a smile. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “Latin for Get a grip? Leo speculated. “This is our best bet.” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo wanted to believe that, but he couldn’t. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo fell to his knees, clutching at his throat. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z But Jason and Piper headed down the centre aisle towards the statue, so Leo figured he’d better follow. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo hadn’t made any gorilla jokes at his expense yet. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z A tremble went all the way down the tentacle as its flesh blistered under Leo’s touch. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “The House of Hades awaits. You will be the first puny rodent to die in my maze. You have only one chance to escape, Leo Valdez. Take it.” The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo yelled out as he and the basketball boys made it down the bus aisle. Maybe He Just Likes You 2019-10-01T00:00:00Z Leo approached her from one side so she could see him. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z They were thirty feet away—much too far to reach the elevator—but Leo pulled out a screwdriver and chucked it like a throwing knife. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo almost jumped out of his tool belt. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Looking at the two of them, Joseph wondered for a moment if Leo had ever come down here to go mudlarking, his red hair shining in the sun. The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Coach Hedge had made that stupid comment about Leo and Hazel holding hands and gazing into each other’s eyes. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo’s dad, Hephaestus, had admitted once that he wasn’t good with organic life forms. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “Well, anyway,” Leo said, “tomorrow I’ll start on the lumber. And in a few days...” The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Jason hated it, but he saw the determination in Leo’s eyes. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z She and Leo didn’t seem to move, but suddenly they were three hundred feet down the corridor, at the entrance of the chamber. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z In fact, each time Leo blinked, he couldn’t remember what she looked like, and he had to concentrate to find her again. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo looked around to see if the nymphs were laughing. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “Mr. McShane,” she announced, “I’m moving over so I can sit close to Leo. He’s so cute, I can’t help myself.” Stargirl 2000-08-08T00:00:00Z Sammy Valdez kept talking to the baby, while Leo’s mother, Esperanza, looked on with a pained smile—perhaps a little worried that Leo’s bisabuelo was rambling, a little sad that he was speaking nonsense. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z By the time Leo looked back, the island of Ogygia was a dark line in the distance, their campfire pulsing like a tiny orange heart. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Does she care more about Leo than about my feelings? Maybe He Just Likes You 2019-10-01T00:00:00Z Leo kept climbing, but he made a mental note to stock up on Fonzies. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo didn’t understand what they were doing, but they were all crowded together in one spot, facing the pond and jostling for a better view. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo couldn’t believe that they didn’t appreciate what they were looking at, but he tried to contain his irritation. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z She choked up, but Leo knew what she meant. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z But it was Leo Valdez who had made the real sacrifice. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z He wondered if Nemesis was around here somewhere, watching to see what Leo would do. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z And by the time Joseph came to the end, he could feel the terrible heat pressing against Leo’s skin, and he could hear the burning theatre as it cracked and fell around him. The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z The statue turned back to her, and Leo jumped. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Leo didn’t know what the crazy girl was so worked up about, but he didn’t really care. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo tried to force down his guilt, and they kept walking. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo remembered special Friday-night dinners he and his mom used to share at a local seafood restaurant in Houston. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “The one from the photograph. Leo! He was here!” The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Leo didn’t hate many people, but after all these years, Aunt Rosa’s face made him boil with resentment. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo said, his eyes still on the sphere. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo stood in the doorway of the mess hall, taking in the scene around the dining table. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z At least when it came to Leo’s luck. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z The points of their swords hovered a few inches from Leo’s face. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo patted the Archimedes sphere embedded in the helm. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z When she rose, Leo almost stumbled off the edge of the world. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z He ran up to Leo’s room and threw himself down on the bed. The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z That’s when Leo made his mistake of simply being too good. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “Fast horse,” Leo said, “and expensive to feed.” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo sat behind Hazel, one arm around her waist. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z The statue just fit, though what they were going to do with it, Leo had no idea. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z First Leo made himself a forge out of mud bricks, each one baked with his own fiery hands. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z And she seemed to find Leo’s presence annoying. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “Yes!” the girls screamed, except for one confused nymph in a yellow dress who squeaked, “Team Leo!” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z She smiled, and for the first time Leo could clearly see her face. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo saw nothing but clouds far below—a rolling silver carpet under the dark sky. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo wondered how that had come up in conversation. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Everyone but Judith has arrived at Leo's when I get there. Girl in the Blue Coat 2016-04-05T00:00:00Z He asked Leo to drill a few extra holes in the bottom of the hull with his power tools, and Leo was happy to oblige. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Frank told them about Leo’s plan to destroy a weakened Gaia with one massive fiery explosion. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z The water hit Leo’s face like a brick wrapped in sandpaper, and he sank into darkness. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo docked the ship at a pier in Charleston Harbor, right next to the seawall. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo jumped in after him while the spirits began to wail above, “Valdez! Kill Valdez!” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z But he wanted to take those risks himself, not put them on Leo. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “Unless Frank wants to turn into a mole,” Leo suggested. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z When he saw it coming to rescue him, Leo should have run down to the docks, whooping at the top of his lungs. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo scanned the workshop, now littered with smoking pieces of broken spheres. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo shooed them away as if they were bothering him. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo slipped the firewood into the pouch and pulled it closed with a tie of bronze thread. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z She wanted Leo with his fire skills, or Jason with his lightning, or Hazel to collapse the tunnel. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z The boy who called me beautiful walks over with Leo and some other friends. The Queen of Water 1996-01-01T00:00:00Z Meanwhile Leo beamed and wiggled his eyebrows over his goggles and spread his hands, gesturing for applause. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z When Leo woke, he wondered if he was a ghost in another flashback, because he was floating weightlessly. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z The serpent shot past, its rough metal skin leaving Leo’s hands scraped and bleeding. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “That sounds just like the angel Leo drew, the one on the ceiling of the theatre!” The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z The machine men tumbled down the stairs, and Leo forced them to jitterbug like 1920s flappers. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Jason and Leo touched down in a big piazza lined with white marble government buildings and outdoor cafés. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “What happened to Leo? You have to tell me! Look at all these notes I took!” The Marvels 2015-09-15T00:00:00Z Leo took one last look at the console, listening to Festus chatter and whir a status report. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “You didn’t really think I could start Leo and Calypso’s Auto Repair without Calypso, did you?” he asked. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “Oh, man,” Leo muttered, summoning fire in his free hand. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo never thought he’d feel this way, but he was worried about that scary blond girl. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo was pretty sure it would take more than a few matches to set that giant ablaze. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z He guessed that this was how Leo felt all the time, except that Leo had a sense of humor. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo was standing on the deck of the Argo II, holding Hazel’s hand. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “Leo,” said Annabeth, “if we get the supplies, how long to fix the ship?” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “He says maybe ten minutes to the harbor,” Leo reported. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z How Leo and his friends had lied about her? Maybe He Just Likes You 2019-10-01T00:00:00Z Leo’s own mom had died in a machine shop blaze. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z If Leo were a magic horse, he wouldn’t have wanted to live in a stall with an oversized goddess of wisdom staring at him. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z As Leo suspected, the loft had doors on either side—folding metal gates. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z And standing in front of the pizza place with Leo and Callum—it didn’t mean anything. Maybe He Just Likes You 2019-10-01T00:00:00Z The time zones kept changing, making Leo feel the distance every time he looked at the walls. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “The buzz is—Leo Espinosa is going to create a new Dog Squad spin-off called CanineCommandos'. Dozer and Petunia? You two will be the stars! You’re going to have your own show! On Apple TV!” Dog Squad 2021-05-11T00:00:00Z Leo hoped he’d given everybody the right gadgets and adequately explained what all the buttons did. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Hazel seemed warm and very alive, not like the ghosts or the other reborn mortals Leo had tangled with. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z He bowed to Leo, doffing his zebra cowboy hat, and did a backflip over the side. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z The polished white tiles on the walls and floor reflected the light of Jason’s sword so well that Leo didn’t need to make a fire. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Where was Leo Tolstoy when I needed him? The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian 2007-09-01T00:00:00Z Leo grinned, which was unnerving in the flames, his teeth like molten silver ingots. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z In Leo’s hands, it wasn’t much bigger than a screwdriver. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Padre Leo heads back to Mexico with the food. Enrique's Journey 2006-02-21T00:00:00Z Leo wasn’t sure if there were oysters in the Great Salt Lake. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo thought those were something you only saw in cartoons. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Apparently, Fake Leo had just been scolded by a teacher. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo didn’t want to bring him down, but he could still hear Gaea’s voice: He is the void that consumes all magic, the cold that consumes all Jire, the silence that consumes all speech. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo glanced at the dormant spheres on the worktables. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Leo guessed it would have been an open-air stadium back in the day - big enough for discus-throwing, javelin-catching, naked shot-put, or whatever else those crazy Greeks used to do to win a bunch of leaves. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “Some people read the Bible and fall asleep,” says Padre Leo. Enrique's Journey 2006-02-21T00:00:00Z She got so much done that by the second day she asked Leo if he needed any help with his own project. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z The girl pronounced it slowly, as if Leo were five years old. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Leo slept outside on a bed of drop cloths under the stars. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z With a start, Leo realized that yesterday—last night, whatever—had been the Fourth of July.
