Camp Half-Blood's protective borders are failing, and the only thing that can restore them lies somewhere in the waters that ancient sailors called the Sea of Monsters.
The second Olympians book sends Percy and his friends out past Florida on a rescue and retrieval that runs into Cyclopes, sirens and a good deal of family complication. Rick Riordan keeps the chapters short and the jokes frequent while working real Greek myth into every obstacle, and the story sets up threads the later books pick up.
Series notes:
• The second Percy Jackson and the Olympians adventure
• A sea quest built from creatures out of Homer
• Humour and short chapters aimed at middle-grade readers
• Loyalty, family and courage tested across the journey
A natural next step for readers who finished the first book, and for classroom and family libraries, available at Boipoka.
