The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan

Since I read and reviewed The Lightning Thief last fall, I thought I'd make a new, separate entry for The Sea of Monsters, book 2 in the Percy Jackson & The Olympians series by Rick Riordan.

The Sea of Monsters introduces a new character, Tyson. Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson end up in The Sea of Monsters trying to rescue Grover who is being held captive by a cyclops. Camp Half-Blood is also slowly being destroyed, so they need to find and retrieve the Golden Fleece as well. Another whole set of mythological characters show up in this book. It's a fun way to learn a little about them. I especially like the "horses" in this story.

Genre: fantasy

Topics: golden fleece, cyclops, half-bloods, chariot racing, battles, unusual friends, family

Mrs. Beckwith's rating: 3.5 of 5
