After a summer spent trying to prevent a catastrophic war among the Greek gods, Percy Jackson finds his seventh-grade school year unnervingly quiet. His biggest problem is dealing with his new friend, Tyson-a six-foot-three, mentally challenged homeless kid who follows Percy everywhere, making it hard for Percy to have any "normal" friends.
But things don't stay quiet for long. Percy soon discovers there is trouble at Camp Half-Blood: the magical borders which protect Half-Blood Hill have been poisoned by a mysterious enemy, and the only safe haven for demigods is on the verge of being overrun by mythological monsters. To save the camp, Percy needs the help of his best friend, Grover, who has been taken prisoner by the Cyclops Polyphemus on an island somewhere in the Sea of Monsters, the dangerous waters Greek heroes have sailed for millennia-only today, the Sea of Monsters goes by a new name.the Bermuda Triangle.
Now Percy and his friends-Grover, Annabeth, and Tyson-must retrieve the Golden Fleece from the Island of the Cyclopes by the end of the summer or Camp Half-Blood will be destroyed. But first, Percy will learn a stunning new secret about his family-one that makes him question whether being claimed as Poseidon's son is an honor or simply a cruel joke.

This book is also really awesome along with the first one!!!!!! I am only on about page 150, or around there. I forgot to bring it home for the weekend to read and I am really upset about that. Percy finds out he has a half brother! And camp Half-Blood is in danger because Thalia's tree is poisoned, so monsters can reach the territory of the camp. Percy, Annabeth and Percy's half brother have to sneak away from camp to find the cure for Thalia's tree so camp can be saved , and they have to save Grover. I recommend this who;e series!!!!!!!

Really? Who on this page would NOT recommend this book?! It is a great fantasy tale and takes you into a world of action.

I totally L-O-V-E IT!!! It's so cool and made me love Greek mythology and I am now a total greek mythology lover for at least half a year!!

This book was a pretty good book, but I didn't really think it was that good in the overall series. I would have preferred some other book in this series since parts of it wasn't exciting but boring.

This is a really cooooooool book because it reminds me of on a boat last time I jumped off the boat.

I love this because of all the action no dead air. I it loved because thier was no spot where the characters were doing nothing. I say it again, no dead air or silence

I HATE THIS BOOK I reccomend the warriors series! Please do not read the series of these books. Please promise me

this book is really good. i like the part where they go and verse against a cyclops because the cyclops thinks Grover is his wife. Cookoo! but i totally recommend this book to anyone who wants to read it!! =)

This is not the best book I have ever read. It was good but it was not great. It takes you on some adventure and excitement but it was not super good. I still liked it a lot and you should read it too.
