Percy Jackson & the Olympians Book Two: The Sea of
Monsters by Rick Riordan
Percy Jackson is surprised by a very quiet seventh grade
year after his first summer at Camp Half Blood.
When he found out he was a demigod, he was not only surprised to find
that his father was one of the big three gods, but his father was
Poseidon. The last day of school he
finds monsters in the gym. He is saved
by his new friend Tyson and Annabeth comes to the rescue and ushers Percy to
camp. The only problem is Camp Half
Blood is in trouble. There are monsters
on the hill which is impossible because of the Tree that supports the border. The tree that is made of Thalia, a daughter
of Zeus has been poisoned and there is only one way to heal it. We all know that Percy, although forbidden to
leave camp by several different people in leadership over him, he goes to find
the one thing that will save the camp, the Golden Fleece. He also has been having dreams that Grover is
in trouble. His Satyr best friend that
is on a mission to find Pan, but he is in big trouble and is speaking to Percy
through his dreams. The Fleece and
Grover are connected and Percy and Annabeth along with Tyson will have to go
and retrieve the Fleece and find Grover or die trying.
I read the first Percy Jackson when I saw the movie trailer
and I knew that this series was right up my alley. I like the book a lot and the movie although
changed for theater version, I still enjoyed it very much. I was just recently looking at movies coming
out this summer and I was happily surprised to see the second book of Percy
Jackson: The Sea of Monsters is coming to theaters in August. I immediately reserved the book with the
library and read it.
The second book was better than the first. I don’t know if it’s because we know the
characters now or because the writing is better or if I just enjoyed it more,
but I like it better. I can’t wait to
continue with the series and read more of Percy Jackson’s crazy
adventures. We know that his character
is a lot like Harry Potter, trouble will follow him just because of who he was
born to be. I can’t wait to see how the
prophesy molds how the books will continue and end. It’s a little like Harry Potter in that way
as well. At this point we are just
unsure if the prophesy is even about Percy at all. I for one cannot wait to find out. I have the third book on hold at the library
already! Keep Reading my Friends!
