“The sea ofMonsters” is the second book in the “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” serieswritten by Rick Riordan. These children’s books are considered classics in theUS; however here in Spain they did not became popular until the first “PercyJackson” movie was released. I decided this year to complete this series sincefor many people in the “bookish” community this series is, as I mention, aclassic.

After the summer incamp half-blood Percy returned to his “normal” life in NYC with his mother.However, he was not able to keep the monsters out of his life and got forced toreturn to the camp, despite his mother’s advice. However, when he gets to camphalf-blood he sees why his mother did not want him to go. The camp is not safeanymore, Talia’s tree, the one who protects the camp from the monsters, hasbeen poisoned; and now all campers are in danger fighting every monster thatfinds its way in. A quest is proposed by the new director of the camp,Tantalus. Clarisse, Ares’ daughter must go to the sea of monsters to the islandof Polycemus and bring the gold fleece to the camp in order to heal Talia’stree. Nonetheless, Percy has a connection with Grover who somehow ended up inthe same island and that will make him, Annabeth and his new “friend”, ---, scapethe camp and go into the quest themselves.

“The sea ofMonsters” was in my opinion a better book than the first one. It was really funand full of adventures. I think I would have enjoyed it far more if I had readit as a child, but in my opinion it was worth the reading even as an adult.

I would reallyrecommend this book to anyone who likes adventure and Greek mythology, since Ithink that last one is one of the main attractions for me in this series.
