Review summary

This seller has earned a 3.96 of 5 Stars rating from internet customers.
3.96 / 5 (1229 total reviews)

Readers describe The Sea of Monsters as a brisk, funny sequel that smartly retools Greek myths for a younger audience. Percy’s sardonic narration remains a draw, and Tyson is frequently cited as a lovable standout, though some felt his inclusion nudges the tone younger. Many appreciated the added emotion around family and neglected demigods and praised the cliffhanger, but a portion of adults found the pacing too breathless, the quest structure familiar, and the character work thinner than in the opener. Overall, fans and younger readers were enthusiastic, while some older readers deemed it enjoyable but lightweight.

From the publisher

The second book in Rick Riordan's #1, New York Times best-selling saga, Percy Jackson and the Olympians--the perfect accompaniment to Season Two of the Disney+ series!

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.

But things don't stay quiet for long. Percy soon discovers there is trouble at Camp Half-Blood: the magical borders which 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 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.

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.
