About this book

Percy Jackson is a half-blood - half human, half Greek god, as is his friend Annabeth. After monsters infiltrate his school and try to kill him, Percy, Annabeth and Percy's new schoolmate, Tyson, who is not all he seems, rush to Camp Half-Blood which is under attack.

In order to restore protection of the camp, they must embark on a dangerous quest to the treacherous Sea of Monsters to capture the Golden Fleece. This second Percy (Perseus) Jackson tale is a thrilling fantasy adventure steeped in Greek mythology.

An exciting page- turning read, combining action and legend, this is an original and imaginative adventure story for young readers.
