He is first mentioned when Percy thinks about his fear of suffocation and wonders if it is connected to his fatal flaw. He mentions that he doesn't want anyone to get hurt on his account and recalls how Grover tried to protect him while taking him to Camp Half-Blood almost getting killed by the Minotaur. Later, while on her quest for the Athena Parthenos , Annabeth sprains her ankle and lands in an unknown area. She remembers a course that Grover had taught her at Camp Half-Blood. Although she dismissed it as silly, Annabeth changes her mind when she uses it to set her ankle with bubble wrap and continues on her way.
Rachel went to Reyna to deliver a message sent by Annabeth , who was in Tartarus. Grover was there to protect Rachel the Romans and Greeks weren't exactly at peace at the time.
Grover also told the Romans that the nature spirits can feel Gaea stirring, believing that she is on the edge of consciousness. He survives the battle and after consulting with the other nature spirits, announces that they can no longer sense Gaea after her scattering and believe that the Earth has returned to normal. Nico reveals that Grover, along with the other Council of Cloven, is currently in California, dealing with the drought much to the chagrin of Apollo.
Later on, Will Solace mentions that he misses Grover, as the latter is excellent at organizing events, such as the upcoming Three-Legged Death Race. He is also very missed by his girlfriend Juniper. As Apollo and Meg McCaffrey are about to leave the Waystation , the daughter of Demeter searches for the right cloven guide to help them through the Labyrinth.
She summons a powerful satyr, Grover, to help them. He was apparently at Palm Springs , California and ate something he wasn't supposed to, he's not very happy about being summoned in a tomato patch in Indianapolis. Grover is concerned and wished that Percy were with them. They stop just as a wave of fire passed by and they head to where it came from since Grover says they're close. They heard a sound and attempted to run away.
Creatures were chasing them. They reached a room that Grover said shouldn't be there, so he and Meg sealed the door with a tomato plant using Grover's nature magic and Meg's Demeter powers. One of the creatures that have been chasing them, a Strix , makes its way into the room with six or seven more outside. He is told by the Strix that they were told to kill them by an emperor.
He and Meg strength their barrier before fleeing with a paralyzed Apollo taped to his back and they go up. When they are halfway up the Strix breakthrough, he uses panic to scare them away.
They make it to the top only to be trapped by a dome. He and Meg realize that arbutus is similar to strawberries and they use strawberry seeds to block the Strix and break open the dome blocking them in.
He says they have made it. They emerge in Palm Springs , California. He keeps Meg from going back into the Labyrinth. Grover watches over Apollo and Meg as they sleep. When Apollo awakens he told Grover about nature spirits dying in natural disasters that do not feel natural. After Meg wakes up he takes the two to see his friends. After introducing his friends to his traveling companions, the nature spirits inform him that they are the only scouting party to return.
After the daughter of Demeter faints, he and Apollo carry her to a nearby well and meet up with Mellie and her infant son. She tells them that her husband has not returned from getting supplies. She asks them to go and find him. He and Apollo walk along a desert road in search of the military surplus store. He also says that he misses Pan and that despite his best efforts, he can not save the wild.
He feels this is because most humans and demigods, and some gods, do not care for the wild. He also says because of the drought he lost a lot of friends. They go in and find Hedge in the firearms section.
As they are about to leave, the managers approach them and ask if they are with Apollo, and tells his employees to kill the satyrs and take the mortal god alive. He gets separated from Apollo and Hedge after the older satyr starts a fire is the isle but saves them by crushing Macro and his automation with a canoe. They head for the back room and barricade the doors he tells Hedge to open the exit and Apollo to activate the automatons with Plan Twenty-Three.
The manager breaks through and the automatons surround him and his employees, but start to self-destruct. He helped Hedge with the door and they make it out just before the explosion. He and the others land in a dumpster and hear a follower of the emperor.
They let others know what they found. He is disturbed by the identity of the third emperor and wonders what to do next. They find her inside and talk with her. Piper explains how Triumvirate Holdings ruined her father and she agrees to join them. They find the entrance to the labyrinth and ready to fight when Piper shoots the guard with a poison dart. After taking care of the guard, the four head into a service elevator. He and Meg do what they can until the satyr decides to take them above ground to heal them.
After the others resurface he quickly heals them before they pass out. He takes them Back to Aeithales for proper healing. He and Apollo call a meeting soon after. When the others return they tell them of the death of Jason Grace. He wonders how they are going to tell Thalia. He agrees to join Apollo and Meg in finding the oracle. He drives and Crest leads them to the abandoned Los Angeles zoo, much to his discomfort. They find the entrance locked in a bear pit and he opens it.
He, along with Apollo and Meg, go inside while Crest keeps watching. They go in and see word puzzles appear after Apollo puts on the sandals. They follow the path with the correct number of glowing tiles that match the answer. The fallen god gets it wrong and they fall when the floor vanishes beneath them revealing the fire of Helios. He grabs Apollo and Meg before they reach the flames and drops the fallen god on his command.
After Helios leaves the three move on. They reach Herophile in her holding room and get to her by continuing the prophecy. When they get more information Medea arrives. After Apollo is subdued he and Meg perform a song of nature but are imprisoned in a vortex. It takes up the question of missing parents and damaged kids though Poseidon and Athena get off the hook rather too easily here. And it highlights the comedy of clashing cultures, the one element in this formula that differentiates it from Harry Potter.
While Grover is loyal and intelligent and even, on occasion, right, he is also the black kid, reduced to vernacular and other stereotyping. More sexually experienced and inclined to talk about it than Percy, Grover is disposed to chase after any girl who smiles at him — and these appear in various states of undress, bikinied daughters of Aphrodite or lotus-serving bar girls.
He offers to exchange Sally for the missing lightning bolt. Along with Annabeth and Grover, Percy then sets out to rescue his mother and prevent war between the gods.

Minotaurs chase Percy, his mother and Grover. This didn't work - the cuff needs to be stretchy - and I ended up cutting it off! Once the cutting is done, it is time to start sewing and vacuming - the fluff that comes off those blankets when you cut them is astounding!!
Turn the two front pieces inside out, then pin and sew the short straight seam down the middle. Repeat for the two back pieces. Lay the front section on top of the back section still inside out and pin down the long outside leg seam. Measure and cut the cuff that will go around the bottom of the legs. The bottom of the legs needs to sit just above the largest part of your calf, so make sure the ribbing will stretch to go over it.
Now you need to start shaping the legs - just a bit! You will find that your ribbing is way too short to sew onto the bottom of the legs. Fold the ribbing in half and pin it to the outside leg seam. Stretch it as far as possible across the leg, and mark the farthest point you can stretch it to. Trim the remainder off, cutting a straight line up to the crotch this will be a triangle - see the photos.
Pin the outside of the ribbing to the outside of the leg and sew. Pin the inside leg seam and sew. I do this in two parts, both starting at the bottom of the cuff so I can get it perfectly aligned and ending at the crotch. Turn the pants in the right way vacumn and try them on your Grover-to-be.
At this stage the legs will be far too poochy to pass as goat legs, but it is a good time to check that everything is going ok. Check that the waistband is going to sit where you want it, and trim if necessary. Pin your waistband mine was more ribbing with a ring of elastic inside it that I cut off that pair of tracksuit pants.
Turn the pants inside-out and put them back on your Grover-to-be. Using your pins shape the legs from the inside and outside seams so that they are more form fitting. You want them to be closer fitting around the calf than the thigh, so allow for a little room above the knee.
Sew down your pinned lines, try them on again and then trim - you don't want to sew them so tight you can't get them on! Arrange the sections from longest to shortest, and level at the top, then hot glue each piece to its neighbour. Run an extra bead of glue down each seam to help hold the pan pipes together. Pull on your Camp Half-blood t shirt and your goat legs, making sure to pull the cuffs up above your calves.
