After a year spent trying to prevent a catastropic 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 millenia--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.

The book came in prime condition-worth the the 99 cents+shipping I paid. No scratches or markings, and it was still bound nicely. It did take longer than I wanted to come, but when it did it was worth my money.

A must read for all Riordan Fans!!
This novel, written by Rick Riordan, is the second installment in the "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" Series. This book was my favorite book out of the series (5 Books Total), because the characters start forming their true personalities, relationships are becoming concrete and the imagination that I encountered was far greater than most of the books.
The book takes off with Percy enrolled in a school where if you screw up, you pass (I guess fundamentals are a little obscure at this school). Anyway after a series of unfortunate and yet crazy things happen to Percy and his new friend Tyson, Annabeth shows and tells Percy that Camp-Half Blood is losing it's border power and must do something that will prevent the camp from being destroyed. Percy, Annabeth and Tyson go on a quest to the Sea of Monsters in order to save the camp and.... Grover?!
?Powdered donuts," Tyson said earnestly. "I will look for powdered donuts in the wilderness." He headed outside and started calling, "Here, donuts!?

great spin on greek mythology...for young adults
As an adult I still enjoyed the book 1-book 2 of the series and intend on ordering the 3rd....Sometimes it's nice to get your sci-fantasy without the "rated R or x" for violence/etc....and relating the "real" world and the "other world" is fun with the Greek/Roman theme ...thank you Mrs April Morris

Truely Amazing
If you loved the first, then you'll fall in love with Sea of Monsters. If you loved Rowling's Harry Potter books, heres an equal love. A gripping, second addition to the Percy Jackson series. Its a must read.
