Percy Jackson’s seventh-grade year has been surprisingly
quiet. Not a single monster has set foot on his New York
prep-school campus. But when an innocent game of dodgeball among
Percy and his classmates turns into a death match against an ugly
gang of cannibal giants, things get . . . well, ugly. And the
unexpected arrival of Percy’s friend Annabeth brings more bad news:
the magical borders that protect Camp Half-Blood have been poisoned
by a mysterious enemy, and unless a cure is found, the only safe
haven for demigods will be destroyed.
In this fresh, funny, and hugely anticipated follow up to The
Lightning Thief, Percy and his friends must journey into the Sea of
Monsters to save their beloved camp. But first, Percy will discover
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.
