Percy Jackson and the Olympians Book 2: The Sea of Monsters (PB) by Rick Riordan

Just when Percy Jackson thinks life has gone quiet, the sea has other plans. And so does the second book in Rick Riordan’s beloved Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.

After a summer spent trying to prevent a catastrophic war among the Greek gods, Percy’s seventh-grade year is unnervingly calm. That is, until trouble stirs at Camp Half-Blood. The magical borders protecting Half-Blood Hill have been poisoned, and the only safe haven for demigods is about to be overrun by monsters.

To save the camp, Percy needs the Golden Fleece. The catch? It’s guarded by a Cyclops on an island deep within the Sea of Monsters, the treacherous waters Greek heroes have braved for millennia, which you might know today by a slightly newer name: the Bermuda Triangle.

Together with Annabeth, Grover, and his surprising new friend Tyson, Percy sets sail on a quest that will test his courage and reveal a stunning secret about his own family, one that makes him wonder whether being claimed by Poseidon is truly an honor.

Fast, funny, and packed with the kind of mythological mayhem that hooks readers young and old, this #1 New York Times bestselling series has turned countless reluctant readers into lifelong book lovers. Perfect for ages 8 to 12 (and grown-ups who never quite outgrew their love of Greek myths).
