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.

I recommend this book if your into fantasy. If you are into fantasy then you have probably already read this series, but anyway... I think it has very amazing events. I would really recommend this to anyone. READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!
This is the second book of the Percy Jackson series. A lot of important events happened in this stories. it started off with a competition, it showed that Percy Jackson had a new competitor, and she's the daughter of war, Clarisse. She's really tough, strong and clever, and very competitive, likes to tease Percy Jackson about that all he did (In the lightning thief serie) was because of luck. And then, he found out that he has a step brother, that is half god, half cyclops. During a usual day, they heard something huge, sounds like something is bumping the wall of Thalia (the daughter of Zeus). It brought a great disaster in the camp, because without that wall, anything, monsters, beasts can go in and destroy the half bloods. So they decided to send a group of the strongest kids to go find the golden fleece, known that it can heal anything. Although the directors sent Clarisse, and another half goat, but Percy thinks that he has the responsibility to save the camp, because of the prophecy he heard. And so he went on an adventure to find the golden fleece, to save the Olympus. It's also very intense to read, the scenes reveal in your eyes vividly, a really good book to read, it's also pretty funny. I really recommend this book the kids in any age, because it's not too hard, and it's interesting, have fun reading this fantastic book!
I am reading this now!! it's so good!!
um i read it with a dfferent book cover:)
I read the one your talking about. :)
This book started out with Thalia's tree being poisoned, and Percy Jackson, along with Annabeth and Grover, sets out on a quest to the Sea of Monsters to look for the golden fleece, which will supposedly cure the poison and restore the magical borders that protects camp-half-blood. I think this is a great book if you have an afternoon where it's cold and rainy outside and all you want to do is cuddle with a blanket on your favorite armchair and read an exciting adventure book.That is, if you have already read the first book on another rainy day just like this. (Just throwing some hackneyed stuff in here to get the ball rolling...) What I really liked about this book was that it keeps you captivated throughout the book, but it's also quite short, which means you could probably sit down and finish this book in one sitting, skipping the entire "Oh my god I have to go but I can't put this book down" episode. Unless, of course, you didn't have the luxury of the cold, rainy, afternoon mentioned above. So overall, while this book is not the MOST AMAZING BOOK EVER, it is certainly worth your time, and I would recommend this book to anyone who likes adventures and fantasy.
This series is my all time favorites, it has swords that some of the reason i like it.
I like this book very much. This is the second book of this series. This time they are going to the sea of monsters to save their friend Grover. Grover was searching for the wild god, Pan, but accidentally ran into a cyclops’ nest. Cyclops eat sheep and goats so Grover had to pretend that he was a female cyclops in order to live. But it wasn’t easy to pretend. The sea of monsters is a place filled with monsters and dangerous creatures just like what the name says. It is very exciting because this time all of them almost died. During the adventure,they met Luke and was almost killed by him. I like the part when Hermes, Luke’s dad asked Percy to help save his son. Even though he knows that his son hates him,but he stills cares about Luke and wanted to help him.
