The Sea of Monsters - Rick Riordan

I really enjoyed the first
Percy Jackson book
and it was such an easy read,
I thought I'd read another one
before I begin my summer courses.
Hmmm...
one of my courses is on
children's literature.
Perhaps this was research?

Well,
if I loved the first one,
I loved the second one.
I love how there's no fluff.
You get right into the story
and a fabulous new character.

Here,
Percy has,
almost,
survived his new school
without incident.
Almost.
The last day of school,
brings on a new adventure.
Camp Half-Blood has been attacked.
Zeus' daughter,
now a pine tree
that protects the camp
has been poisoned.
Only the Golden Fleece
can save the camp.
And while it should be up to
Percy to save the day,
Clarisse,
daughter of Ares,
is chosen.
But Percy is determined to save his friend,
Grover.
So, a new adventure is in store
for our favourite
half god.
