Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Sea of Monsters

Percy Jackson finds himself back at Camp Half Blood for the Summer and this time, things are bad!  Percy comes to find that Thalia's tree (the magical force created from Zeus' daughter that keeps the entire came safe) is dying.  This time it's up to Percy, Annabeth, Grover, Tyson (Percy's cyclops brother) and their enemy Clarisse to find the Golden Fleece hidden somewhere in the Sea of Monsters to help heal the tree.  But can they face each surprise that they encounter and live?

The Sea of Monsters is the shortest book in the series but packs some of the most important information.  We learn about how Annabeth really feels about Luke, how deep Luke is in the Kronos madness, Clarisse's relationship with her dad (Ares) and how well the Fleece actually works. It's a fantastic work and full of even more Greek-Hero related stories and mythology.  We also get to see just how well Percy's abilities work in the open ocean.  We also get introduced to the Party Ponies!!!  They are most definitely some of my favorite characters!!  All in all, the story and book are excellent and well written.  It definitely belongs in the wonder that is the Percy Jackson series!
