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.

AMAZING!!! The second book of the most AMAZING series ever!! Totally recommend it!! Check out my review of the first book, The Lightning Thief ⛈ Like❤️ Any questions? Just reply!

Once I had read Book 1: 'The Lightning Thief' I was hooked. I mean I was literally obsessed with everything 'Percy Jackson' EXCEPT FOR THE MOVIES!... Anyway it's a great book! You should totally read it!

This book is about Clarisse getting a quest to save the golden fleece since Thalia's tree was poisoned! Therefore, the magical border that keeps monsters from entering camp half-blood, the camp for demigods, is starting to become useless. Although it was Percy and Annabeth's dream ,everyone except Clarisse isn't allowed to go. The main objective of the quest was to get the golden fleece from the gold ram that was sacrificed to the gods, which cures sickness from that certain area, and rescue Grover. So, Annabeth, Percy (Perceus), and Tyson boards a ship and goes on the journey after sneaking out at night.

I love Rick Riordan books like The Throne of Fire, The Serpents Shadow, but I like the books with Greek and Roman characters like The Heroes of Olympus and Percy Jackson series.

I mean AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This book is good but not as good as the first. but still i cant wait to see what happens.

AWESOME BOOK!!!!!

preston preston

this book is great for you if you love action or peril.This is the best book ever.

So... Last day of school. Can Percy really make it a whole year and not get expelled? The answer: No. Not when monsters are attacking in the middle of gym. And when Percy's one friend from school tags along when an unexpected appearance appears, it's a bit hard to explain... But Tyson doesn't need explaining about what Percy is. Percy needs explaining about what Tyson is. And that unexpected appearance (alright, it's Annabeth) doesn't like what Tyson is...
