Book Talk Review; Percy Jackson and The Olympians The Sea Of Monsters

Bad News: I'm a day behind. Good News: I have a Book Talk for you!

 Book Two in the Percy Jackson Series

 

 

 After a summer spent trying to prevent a catastrophic 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 millennia-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.

 

 This one is just as good as the last and it allows takes you deeper into the world of Greek Mythology.I love how Rick incorporates everything into this series. 

 

 The way that the Myths go about and how they are intertwined into the main plots of the story makes the Books that much more awesome to read. 

 

 The Way the Author is able to fit the real world into the ancient Greek world amazes me. Not many Authors would be able to pull it off. 

 

 Percy's seventh grade year goes quietly-surprisingly. he made a friend. Tyson this big-kid who kind of adopts Percy. 

 

 When Annabeth finds Percy and Tyson they are beat up after getting into a fight with some big man-eating Monsters from up north. 

 

 Arriving on Half-Blood Hill awaits another fight against monsters as they try to fight their way into the camp. 

 

 The Camp is in danger, the Magic Tree that protects the Camp is poisoned and the borders are fading. Monsters are awaiting their chance to enter the Camp. 

 

 The Golden Fleece. A Magical Fleece that Jason many years before had retrieved from the Sea Of Monsters.   

 

 But Grover- Percy's best friend is missing. However, where he is being held by the Cyclops Polyphemus so is The Fleece. 

 

 The group of friends must Journey to the Sea Of Monsters and get the Fleece in order to save the camp. 

 

 Percy also gets a surprise from his dad- a big Surprise. One that has him questioning whether or not being Claimed as the Son of Poseidon is really that special.

 

 This series is a great series for kids. It's a great way to teach about Greek Mythology and one that everyone will love.
