Perseus Jackson just cannot stay out of trouble -- what with his father being a god, you would expect a bit more self-control.
But trouble seems to follow Percy wherever he goes. Rick Riordan's sequel to "The Lightning Thief," in which we first met Percy Jackson and learned the gods of Olympus have children alive and well on Earth, follows Percy one year later.
Percy, now in yet another boarding school, has become friends with Tyson, who we later learn is a descendant of the Cyclops. But despite Percy trying to live a somewhat normal life, the Fates have something else in mind for him.
When word reaches him that Thalia's tree, the one that guards and protects the beloved Half-Blood Camp, has been poisoned, Percy immediately tries to return to camp. Accompanied by Annabeth Chase and with the help of Hermes himself, Percy, Annabeth and Tyson set out on a rescue mission to find the Golden Fleece, rescue Grover from the Cyclops, and learn just how far they will go to protect what they truly love most.
I loved the first book and I completely adore this book. There are many apperances by gods and goddesses alike, such as Circe, Scylla, the Cyclops, and many more. The adventure escalates until the very last page, and you cannot help but cheer for Percy and Annabeth. But, as with every story, sometimes the magic works a little too well... and with Luke still on the run from the first book, the adventure is going to get worse before it gets better.
