__Percy Jackson and the Olympians The Sea of Monsters__ By: Rick Riordan April 4, 2011 Quick Note: Book Number 2 I recommend that you read this book if you have read the first one called __Percy Jackson and the Olympians The Lighning Theif__ written by Rick Riordan. (This book is also written by him). Percy Jackson once again is still telling the story in first person. The conflict is that someone has poisoned Thalia's tree (Thalia was a daughter of Zeus who was with Annabeth, Luke and Grover the satyr when a hoard of monsters attacked her at the top of the hill so as she died, Zeus took pity on her and turned her into a pine tree so her spirit saves and strengthens the magical camp borders) and if the tree dies, then the camp borders will fail and the camp will be overunned by monsters. The gods and people at camp dont trust Chiron, the centaur who has lived for over 3 millenium, because they think he poisoned the tree. Also Grover has gone mysteriously missing so Percy and Annabeth must go find Grover before a half blind male cyclops marries Grover! But even thats not the best part. They go looking for the Golden Fleece that heals anything, so that they can save Thalia's tree (the quest is actually suppose to be Clarisse's the daughter of Ares whose the war god) and find out who the the actual person poisoned the tree. But once again, Percy discovers he's got a monster (thats what Annabeth calls him) for a brother! The characters in __Percy Jackson the Sea of Monsters__ are develope very well with desription, dialogue and actions. As each problem unfolds in each book, Percy and Annabeth began to grow closer to one another from alliances, to friends, to best friends, and then to liking one another. home Cobra Reviews of Page-Turners
