<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> In this second installment in the series Percy, Poseidon's 13-year-old demigod son, is desperate to rescue his friend and retrieve the healing Golden Fleece--the only protection for the children in Camp Half-Blood. Adventure follows chaotic adventure as Percy once again battles mythical monsters in modern-day settings. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b>Percy Jackson and his friends undertake a perilous voyage to save their summer camp in this modern-day adventure with a Greek mythology twist.</b><b><br></b>* "In a feat worthy of his heroic subjects, Riordan crafts a sequel stronger than his compelling debut." <br>--<i>Publishers Weekly </i>(starred review)<ul><li><i>New York Times</i> best-selling series by an author beloved the world over</li><li>Makes Greek mythology relevant and fun for modern readers</li><li>Useful for classroom discussions </li><li>Features a main character with learning differences</li><li>An exciting adventure quest full of monsters and gods</li><li>Ideal for middle schoolers but can be enjoyed by older readers, too</li><li>Adapted into a feature film</li><li>Soon to be a series on Disney+</li></ul>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. <p/>But things don't stay quiet for long. Percy soon discovers there is trouble at Camp Half-Blood: the magical borders that 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. <br>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. <p/>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. <br> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> <b>Rick Riordan</b>, dubbed "storyteller of the gods" by <i>Publishers Weekly</i>, is the author of five #1 <i>New York Times</i> best-selling middle grade series with millions of copies sold throughout the world: Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Heroes of Olympus, and the Trials of Apollo, based on Greek and Roman mythology; the Kane Chronicles, based on Ancient Egyptian mythology; and Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, based on Norse mythology.
