Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters is the second awesome adventure in Rick Riordan's bestselling series. This new edition will tie-in with the star-studded and eagerly awaited new Percy Jackson film from Twentieth Century Fox. Half Boy. Half God. All Hero. You can't tell by looking at me that my dad is Poseidon, God of the Sea. It's not easy being a half-blood these days. Even a simple game of dodgeball becomes a death match against an ugly gang of cannibal giants – and that was only the beginning. Now Camp Half-Blood is under attack, and unless I can get my hands on the Golden Fleece, the whole camp will be invaded by monsters. Big ones…Rick Riordan is the Mythmaster. The Greek Gods are alive and kicking.
“Riordan takes the reader back to the stories we love; then shakes the cobwebs out of them”. (Eoin Colfer). “Witty and inspired. Gripping, touching and deliciously satirical”. (The Times). “Puns, jokes and subtle wit, alongside a gripping storyline”. (Telegraph). “Perfectly paced, with electrifying moments chasing each other like heartbeats”. (New York Times). “It's Buffy meets Artemis Fowl. Thumbs up”. (Sunday Times). “Funny …very exciting …but it's the storytelling that will get readers hooked. After all, this is the stuff of legends”. (Guardian).
