Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters is even more surprising then The Lighting Thief {book one}. He is first attacked by cannibals then Luke. If you read the first book you would know why Luke is attacking. While Grover went to find Pan it t urns out it was all a trick which is why all the satyrs died. Percy was getting telepathic messages from Grover witch is also how they find the gold fleece. The reason they need the fleece is because they need to heal Thalia’s tree {which goes a little too well.} Tyrus, Percy’s knew friend is a Cyclops. As soon as Percy finds out about Thalia’s tree being poisoned he goes right to Camp
Half-Blood. When he gets there he figures out Chiron has been fired because they thought it was Chiron’s fault Thalia’s tree was poisoned. Percy disagrees with director D but he knows he can’t do anything about it. It gets a lot worse when a new guy from the underworld is hired to replace Chiron, and he’s not a very good replacement, not that director D cares. Hermes tries to get Percy to help Luke which he tries but as you would think failed. This is a very good book but even better if you read the first book! I suggest this book for ages 8 and up.
