Editorial Review: Product Description: After a year spent trying to prevent a catastropic 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 millenia--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. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The plot thickensThe son of Posidon gets an urgent call for help in the dream world from his satyr friend Grover, only to find out once again it's not a dream. SO in order to help Grover and acidentally find the golden fleece, he sneaks out with the help of Hermes and acidentally joins the Ares daughter in the fight, capture, and flight back to Camp Halfblood. Rating:  - Just a sequelI really enjoyed this book. I'm a fan of all of the percy jackson series. This book doesn't stand up to the others though. Once again percy goes out on an adventure, but this time he's going to get the mystical golden fleece before the protective borders of camp half-blood fade away. It's full of excitement. It just doesn't stand up to book one. Read this book. but if it seems worse than book one keep reading the series. Rating: - Another excellent title by Rick RiodanMy nine-year old loves these books. We used to ask him to read in the morning instead of watching television. With the Percy Jackson books he doesn't need to be asked. I read with him on the first two books and they are very good books. He has read three of the four books since September and is into the fourth book now. Great series. Hope that there is more to follow. Rating: - My 13yr old couldn't put it down.My son who is 13 yrs old, couldn't put it down. We ended up buying the whole series. It was very nice to see him want to read! Rating: - Great installment to the Percy Jackson series.The other day I posted a review for The Lightning Theif and felt as though I had to continue writing reviews for the other books in the the series. The Sea of Monsters is continues the first book's great character development and action packed adventures. This time Percy must set out with his friend Annabeth to find his other friend and satyr Grover who has been held captive by a hungry cyclops. To do this Percy and Annabeth must sail through the sea of monsters. While ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
