Product Description
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.

 Another quality story for the kids June 28, 2008
Christopher Ekstrom (Columbia, CT United States)
Rick Riordan does a wonderful job of continuing the story of Pereus Jackson and his friends from Camp Half-Blood. Kids will be intrigued by both the continuing storyline and by the well done connections to monsters and heroes of Greek mythology. All of this is written with a bit of humor in vocabulary and vernacular that kids understand and relate to. Jessie Bernstien's interpretations of the characters' voices adds to the entertaining quality of the audio book production.
Highly recommended
 Awesome book! June 19, 2008
Book Mom (WV)
Excellent book! My son loved this series, and hounded me to read it. I did, and also read it to the fourth and fifth grade classes that I have for Read Aloud. Each week, the kids remembered what had happened the previous weeks, including specific details. And they remained quite attentive while I read, as well - which says a lot about the books ability to keep them involved. I would recomment this for any child 9 years old and up, and even for adults interested in this genre. Only one caveat - it helps to be knowledgeable of basic mythology. Enjoy!
High interest book for middle school kids. June 13, 2008

My 6th graders read The Lightning Thief and listened to The Sea of Monsters on CD. They love series and many have gone on to reading the last two books.

i definately was expecting more after the amazingly awesome first book, and i was a little let down. but this book is still good. it doesnt exactly show up the the first book, but it still has some funny moments. STILL WORTH CHECKING OUT
Can't wait for the next one May 14, 2008

Suspensful...engaging...Great Series for young (my 7 and 11 year old) and old 34 - me alike. Its humor sneaks up on you. you may be in the most suspensful part but Percy and his friends can find humor in any situation or the way they percieve reality is humourous for us. The scenery is decribed in such a way you cannot only see your suroundings but you can feel the chill in the air or the scorching sun on your skin....A great family read for bedtime.
