His biggest problem is dealing with his new friend, Tysona six-foot-three, mentally challenged homeless kid who follows Percy everywhere, making it hard for Percy to have any normal friends.But things dont 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. To save the camp, Percy needs the help of his best friend, Grover, who has been taken prisoner 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.Together with his friends, Percy must retrieve the Golden Fleece from the Island of the Cyclopes or Camp Half-Blood will be destroyed. But first, Percy will learn a stunning new secret about his familyone that makes him question whether being claimed as Poseidons son is an honor or simply a cruel joke.

 The Sea Monstors (Percy Jackson and the Olypians, Book 2), 2008-07-04
The entire series is absolutely a must! The books have humor, drama, excitement, and are hard to put down.

 Another quality story for the kids, 2008-06-28
Rick Riordan does a wonderful job of continuing the story of Pereus Jackson and his friends from Camp Half-Blood. Kids will be intrigued by both the continuing storyline and by the well done connections to monsters and heroes of Greek mythology. All of this is written with a bit of humor in vocabulary and vernacular that kids understand and relate to. Jessie Bernstien's interpretations of the characters' voices adds to the entertaining quality of the audio book production.
Highly recommended

Awesome book!, 2008-06-19
Excellent book! My son loved this series, and hounded me to read it. I did, and also read it to the fourth and fifth grade classes that I have for Read Aloud. Each week, the kids remembered what had happened the previous weeks, including specific details. And they remained quite attentive while I read, as well - which says a lot about the books ability to keep them involved. I would recomment this for any child 9 years old and up, and even for adults interested in this genre. Only one caveat - it helps to be knowledgeable of basic mythology. Enjoy!

High interest book for middle school kids., 2008-06-13
My 6th graders read The Lightning Thief and listened to The Sea of Monsters on CD. They love series and many have gone on to reading the last two books.
