This summer I've been speeding through the Percy Jackson books--just two weeks ago I reviewed book one, The Lightning Thief--so this week I have the second book in Rick Riordan's hit series, The Sea Of Monsters! Just to warn you, though, if you haven't yet read the first novel, you might not want to read this review.A year after finding out that he is a Demi-God, a son of one of the Greek Gods; Poseidon, to be exact, Percy Jackson has just about survived his best year of private school yet. He's excited to have a peaceful, normal trip back to Camp Half-Blood, the training grounds and safe haven for Demi-Gods. That's not the case, of course. On his last day of school, Percy and his friend Tyson get attacked by a gang of monsters, right in the middle of a game of dodge ball. Fortunately, his good friend Annabeth shows up and rescues them, but she brings bad news: something is wrong at camp!
To make matters worse, Percy dreams that his best friend, Grover, is in trouble: captured by a Cyclops and being held prisoner. It's up to the two campers, and Tyson--who is more than he appears--to rescue Camp Half-Blood and everyone's favorite Satyr. This is my favorite out of the Percy Jackson series so far; I'm only on book three, though, so that could change! I love Annabeth's character in this book, and Grover is even more lovable, if possible. Not to mention its got lots of action, and some comedy, too!
I hope you guys are having a good summer; happy reading!
