The Sea Of Monsters (Rick Riodoran)

When reading these books I slowly begin to notice that the reader is getting somewhat of a Classical education. This book taught me a lot about the Olympian gods and was also very interesting.
The second book in the Olympian series The Sea of Monsters starts out ,like the first, with Percy getting in trouble at school constantly. But Percy makes a new friend named Tyson, he’s big but dorky so he is continuosly made fun of by the other kids and Percy must protect him ,but later on in the book Tyson offers his help to Percy many times in a much bigger way.
When Percy arrives back at camp half-blood he finds it under attack by two golden minatours which he has to fight of with the help of Clarissa,Ares’ kid. Thaila’s tree was supposed to supply the camp with magical boarders that would not let the monsters in. But the tree has been poisoned.The magical borders around the camp are weakening and monsters are breaking through. And the camps counselor Dionysus thinks that Percy’s friend Chiron is to blame. Therefore he gets fired from camp and Percy couldn’t be the madder.
So Percy goes on a quest to save the tree and his best friend Grover from the angry Cyclops that captured him. Percy’s wacky adventures are constantly surprising you!This was a great book that will keep your hands itching for the third!
