In a comic blend of Greek mythology and modern life, our protagonist, Percy (a half-god, half-human with ADHD), finds himself in a seventh-grade dodgeball game overrun by giant cannibalistic monsters. Trouble continues to follow Percy and his classmates as they journey to the Sea of Monsters -- aka the Bermuda Triangle -- to save not only Camp Half-Blood (a summer haven for demigods), but Percy's satyr friend Grover, who's being held hostage by a Cyclops, and, oh yes, all of Western Civilization. Featuring the cliff-hangers and sassy attitude kids loved in The Lightning Thief -- plus a surprising new family secret -- this outstanding sequel should win over a fresh legion of fans.
I LOVE this series so far! The Sea of Monsters was such a wonderful follow-up to The Lightning Thief! I cannot wait to see how this series will translate into film! I also am very excited to start reading The Titan's Curse next! I will have to save up and get the next two books in the series. Too bad The Last Olympian just came out....I will have to wait a bit to get it in paperback.
