The Sea of Monsters

The Sea of Monsters is the next book in Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, and it takes place almost exactly one year after the end of the last book.

In this book, we meet back up with all our old lovable characters, plus one. Percy has made a new friend this past school year, and this friend follows Percy back to Camp Half-Blood, much to Annabeth's extreme distaste.

Something terrible is happening at camp, and it, of course, calls for a quest. Problem is, Percy is not the recipient of this quest; the local bully Clarisse is.

But of course, with the problems at camp and the knowledge both of what traitor did the terrible thing and of where to find the cure, PLUS all the visions Percy has been having of Grover in danger, how on earth can Percy just sit at camp like a good little boy?

So the answer is simple: run away.

With the help of a couple gods, Percy and Annabeth and Tyson travel to the deadly Sea of Monsters, known to mortals as the Bermuda Triangle, in search of the Golden Fleece and Grover.

In the process of this book, new powers are discovered, new respects are forged, and of course there comes an unexpected twist at the end. This could spell out doom for everyone, and for Percy, it could mean that he has to rethink his entire purpose in life again.
