The Sea of Monsters--Percy and the Olympains #2


Author: Rick Riordan
My Description: Another of my kind of books. This one being a little more serious than 'Siren Song', it's still light-hearted and fun. I really loved it. It has a tiny bit of humor and many surprises and twists that make it a real page turner and is sure to give you all the action and excitement that you could want in a book.
Back-of-the-Book Description: In this second installment in the series, Percy, Poseidon's 13-year-old demigod son, is desperate to rescue his friend Grover, captive of the bloodthirsty Cyclops Polyphemus, and to retrieve the healing Golden Fleece. The sheepskin is needed to restore the protection around Camp Half-Blood, the only safe haven for the children of gods and humans, heroes-in-training in our modern world. However, the camp has already been compromised and the quest for the Golden Fleece has been awarded to the bully Clarisse. Encouraged by Hermes, Percy sets off for the Bermuda Triangle anyway with his friend Annabeth and classmate Tyson, who turns out to be a half-brother and a Cyclops as well. Adventure follows chaotic adventure at a rapid pace, and readers with even a passing acquaintance with the Odyssey will enjoy this fresh use of familiar stories.
