After a summer spent trying to prevent a catastrophic war among the Greek gods, Percy Jackson finds his seventh-grade school year unnervingly quiet. His biggest problem is dealing with his new friend, Tyson-a six-foot-three, mentally challenged homeless kid who follows Percy everywhere, making it hard for Percy to have any "normal" friends.
But things don't stay quiet for long. Percy soon discovers there is trouble at Camp Half-Blood: the magical borders which protect Half-Blood Hill have been poisoned by a mysterious enemy, and the only safe haven for demigods is on the verge of being overrun by mythological monsters. To save the camp, Percy needs the help of his best friend, Grover, who has been taken prisoner by the Cyclops Polyphemus on an island somewhere in the Sea of Monsters, the dangerous waters Greek heroes have sailed for millennia-only today, the Sea of Monsters goes by a new name.the Bermuda Triangle.
Now Percy and his friends-Grover, Annabeth, and Tyson-must retrieve the Golden Fleece from the Island of the Cyclopes by the end of the summer or Camp Half-Blood will be destroyed. But first, Percy will learn a stunning new secret about his family-one that makes him question whether being claimed as Poseidon's son is an honor or simply a cruel joke.

This is one of the best books i ever read along with the other books in the series it is a great read with adventure and lots of enjoyment

great book about how percy sneeks out of camp to go on a misson with annabeth to save grover and save the golden fleece which protects thailas tree that has been poisend by luke

This book (and all the other books in the series) is a great tale of action and friendship. I recomend this book to anyone who is over the age of nine and has read the first book: The Lightning Theif. It is an amazing book that kept me up all night (well not ALL night) and never left my side. I also recomend the rest of the series including: The Lighting Theif, The Titans Curse, The Battle of the Labrenth, and The Last Olympian.

it is a nice book for all ages, and i really like it and im on page 75 but it to 2 mounths just to get there.

this book is about percy going to camp half blood for his second year. he meets a cyclops named tyson. posidon adops tyson. so percy & tyson are brothers.

this book is a seaqual to the populare book the lightning theif. after battleing carnivorus canibbals percy and his new freind tyson are off to camp half blood. but thier lecamp is in trouble, and percy and his freinds must save it. in order to do that they must travel to the sea of monsters, otherwise known as the bermuda triangle. WILL THEY SUCSEED?
