After a summer spent trying to prevent a catastrophic war among the
Greek gods, Percy Jackson finds his seventh-grade school year
unnervingly quiet. His biggest problem is dealing with his new friend,
Tyson--a six-foot-three, mentally challenged homeless kid who follows
Percy everywhere, making it hard for Percy to have any "normal" friends.
But things don't stay quiet for long. Percy soon discovers there is
trouble at Camp Half-Blood: the magical borders that protect Half-Blood
Hill have been poisoned by a mysterious enemy, and the only safe haven
for demigods is on the verge of being overrun by mythological
monsters.
To save the camp, Percy needs the help of his best friend, Grover, who
has been taken prisoner by the Cyclops Polyphemus on an island somewhere
in the Sea of Monsters, the dangerous waters Greek heroes have sailed
for millennia--only today, the Sea of Monsters goes by a new name...the
Bermuda Triangle.
Now Percy and his friends--Grover, Annabeth, and Tyson--must retrieve
the Golden Fleece from the Island of the Cyclopes by the end of the
summer or Camp Half-Blood will be destroyed. But first, Percy will learn
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.
