Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters Award-winning author by Rick Riordan (author)

Author/Illustrator

Rick Riordan

Rick Riordan is a teacher and a writer, and has won many awards for his mystery novels for adults. He says that the idea for Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief first came to him while he was teaching Greek mythology at middle school in San Francisco. But rumour has it that Camp Half Blood actually exists, and Rick spends his summers there recording the adventures of young demigods. Some believe that, to avoid a mass panic among the mortal population, he was forced to swear on the River Styx to present Percy Jackson’s story as fiction. Rick lives in Texas (apart from his summers on Half Blood Hill) with his wife and two sons.

   I Love Percy Jackson as you know by my name. Annabeth is my favourite character. This particular book in the series is very interesting as the borders of the camp are failing and percy yet again goes on a quest to get the golden fleece to guard camp.

   This is the second book in the Percy Jackson series and in my opinion is even better than the first. Percy, Annabeth and Grover set out to find the Golden Fleece to save camp half blood from Luke and his evil forces. This adventure leads to them travelling across the sea, meeting Hercules and even fighting their way out of a digestive system! This book was incredible!

   It is a fun to read book, but it is overflowing with myths and monsters. I like the way it introduces new characters. All of the characters have there own way of doing things.

    Percy Jackson is actually a demigod which means that he has one mortal parent and one godly parent, in his case-Poseidon. In this adventure he goes and rescues his friend Grover the Saytr. I would recommend this book to older readers from 10-16

    This was a great sequel to Percy Jackson, and I loved all the books in the series. The series overall is my favorite set of books, and I definitely recommend them to anyone. Although the cover looks very boyish, I loved the book and I am a girl, so don’t judge the book by its cover! Banana88

    Percy thought he was done battling greek monsters after last years incident but no, when percy finds himself blowing up his second school it looks like this years gonna be the same as last year. In this book percy must retrieve the golden fleece and save his best friend. I won’t spoil the rest but a lot more things happen inbetween. YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK!

    I like the way this book goes. When a greek god is mentioned I picture an image of what is happening of the book so I like how the author has made an advantage of Poseidon as Percy’s father and Zeus the big boss.

    when i read the first book in the series i thought that the second book couldntbeat it, yet somhow it did! it was much better planned out and the hints of what was going to happen were more subtle meaning the book was less predictable and more exciting then the first! i’d ever! reccommend the book to anyone who enjoyed anything 5 out of 5!

    If this book was cake it would be scrumpcious. I loved every minute of the tension and the cliff-hanging paragraphs, the way percy uses his water god skills to escape the monster cyclopes. Rick has proved himself to me once again an amazing author.
