The Sea of Monsters

The sea of monsters is the second book in the series of Percy Jackson and the Olympians. It is about a boy named Percy Jackson who is the son of Poseidon, the sea god, and since he is the son of a god and a human he is called a half-blood. There is a camp that is called camp half-blood that the half-bloods go to stay safe and train to become heroes.

So Percy has been to camp half-blood and when he goes for his second summer he finds out that it isn't safe anymore. So he goes out on a quest because someone has poisoned the tree, also know as Thalia daughter of Zeus, which has been keeping the camp safe and he knows where to find the cure. The cure for the poisoned tree is a Golden Fleece that is somewhere in the Sea of Monsters. Percy, Tyson (Percy's cyclops brother), and Annabeth (Percy's friend) all set out on their journey to find the Golden Fleece and bring back their friend Grover as well. As they are on their journey they run into some problems with monsters, Luke an old friend that has turned evil, temptations and more. They have to work together and put away their differences to defeat these trials to get their camp restored to the safe place it used to be.

I really liked this book and I give it an A. It was full of action and it was intense. I think one of the points the author was trying to get at was that we should be accepting of everyone, and we shouldn't judge people right away, because they can turn out to be really good people. This book was fun to read and so far the series has been good. I would really recommend this book if you like cliffhangers, because it has that, and it just makes you want to get the next book right away and keep reading.
