( )The second in this great fantasy series for kids, sort of what you'd get if Edith Hamilton had written the Harry Potter series. Here, the magical borders of Camp Half-Blood have been poisoned, and the search for a solution sends Percy, Annabeth, Tyson and Grover to the Sea of Monsters in the search for the Golden Fleece. Another exciting, lightly suspenseful adventure with some well-drawn characters that manages to sneak in some knowledge about mythology along the way. The story continues to move along as we're introduced to a new character (Tyson, Percy's half-brother cyclop) and we head to Monster Island to rescue Grover and The Golden Fleece! Big battles, big rescues, and the evil continues to grow! Young Readers who enjoyed the first book will definitely enjoy this one as well. For adults... it's a nice little romp but you'll get more of a kick comparing this voyage to those stop-motion animation movies we watched as kids :) A fairly good entry into the Percy Jackson series. It's the end of the school year and Percy is really looking forward to another summer at camp when he's thrown a major curve and ends up on a dangerous quest. After a few twists and turns the quest is successful. Too successful. This book did have me looking forward to the next Olympian adventure. Susan says: The saga of Percy Jackson and his friends continues on the next summer, much as Harry Potter continues on each school year. It turns out that in this school year Percy has befriended a homeless teen named Tyson, who ends up being a Cyclops and also Percy's brother. This opens Percy up for a lot of teasing at Camp Half-Blood, and he spends some time feeling guilty about that. But then Percy, Annabeth and Tyson go on an unauthorized quest to save Grover, who is trapped in a cave as a Cyclops' potential bride. There is a lot of humor in this book, along with Greek mythology which gets more and more specific as the books move on. There are also very loyal friends, and I think that is the only thing that helps Percy get through these dangerous quests. A good book with a lot of action, and I will keep reading in this series. no reviews | add a review
