The Sea of Monsters, by Rick Riordan, is the second installment of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. In this book, Percy (son of Poisidon) goes to Meriwether College Prep, a school that is outrageously positive. When gian humans (literally, Giants) come to Percy's school, Percy, along with Annabeth (daughter of Athena) and his friend Tyson(?, Annabeth has a disliking to him) save the school and kill the Giants. Unfortuanately, the mist wrapped around the mortals so much that the mortals believe that Percy bombed the school. When Percy and Co. escape the school on the Gray Sister's taxi, one of the sisters tell Percy some numbers () :the place that he seeks. When Percy finally gets to camp, he finds the camp overrun by bronze bulls and saves Clarrise (daughter of Ares) and go into camp and find the camp burnt and ruined, but still intact. He sees Chiron leaving and asks him why. He points to Thalia's (daughter of Zeus, got turned into a tree because, while she, Annabeth, and Luke [son of Hermes, now evil because he thinks his father doesn't like him and is cruel because he doesn't answer his prayers, so is now helping Kronos{bad titan, tried to kill the gods but Zeus and the other gods chopped him up and sent him to Tarturus {(and recycling bin for monsters because monsters reform)}}] were having a last stand at Camp Half-Blood [the camp Percy's at], she was going to fight all the monsters off and Zeus took pity on her and turned her into a magical tree) tree and looks at it. The needles are yellowed. The tree was poisoned.
What will happen next?
The book is well written and is full of action, rule-breaking, and mysteries. It is sort of like a more recent The Oddessey, by Homer, just with a little change. Same Sea of Monsters, Scylla, Charybdis, Sirens, and Polyphemus. I enjoyed it a lot.
