Goodreads Synopsis:
The heroic son of
Poseidon makes an action-packed comeback in the second must-read
installment of Rick Riordan's amazing young readers series. Starring
Percy Jackson, a "half blood" whose mother is human and whose father is
the God of the Sea, Riordan's series combines cliffhanger adventure and
Greek mythology lessons that results in true page-turners that get
better with each installment.
In this episode, The Sea of
Monsters, Percy sets out to retrieve the Golden Fleece before his summer
camp is destroyed, surpassing the first book's drama and setting the
stage for more thrills to come.
Percy Jackson is a good
kid, but he can't seem to focus on his schoolwork or control his
temper. And lately, being away at boarding school is only getting
worse-Percy could have sworn his pre-algebra teacher turned into a
monster and tried to kill him. When Percy's mom finds out, she knows
it's time that he knew the truth about where he came from, and that he
go to the one place he'll be safe. She sends Percy to Camp Half Blood, a
summer camp for demigods (on Long Island), where he learns that the
father he never knew is Poseidon, God of the Sea. Soon a mystery unfolds
and together with his friends -- one a satyr and the other the demigod
daughter of Athena -- Percy sets out on a quest across the United States
to reach the gates of the Underworld (located in a recording studio in
Hollywood) and prevent a catastrophic war between the gods.
