                         Have you ever wondered about the mysteries of Greek mythology? Have you ever wondered what would happen if all those myths appeared into the actual world itself? I got to see this occur, not in real life, but in the pages of a book. The book (The Sea of Monsters) by Rick Riordan moves things along as the sequel to (The Lightning Thief) and starts another chapter in the Percy Jackson series. People might remember the past events taken in (The Lightning Thief.) People who have already read the series already know about Percy Jackson, he is a demi-god (half human, half god) who is the son of Poseidon and has ADHD. Most of the time he doesn’t do well in school because most of the written English letters can be easily read by regular humans themselves, but to Percy, the letters start to scramble all over the chalkboard like little kids on the playground. After the incidents held in (The Lightning Thief.), it has already reached the end of Percy’s school year. But some strange things have been going on because Percy has been having strange dreams which are revealed as messages from his friend Grover, a satyr that has helped Percy in the past events. Grover says that he has been held captive by a Cyclops who mistook Grover as a lovely Cyclops that he wants to marry, and says that if he ever spilled the beans that he was indeed a satyr, and not a Cyclops, the one-eyed beast would eat him. After a brawl with monsters on a dodge ball court, he reunites with Annabeth (another one of Percy’s friends, she is also a demi-god.) and Tyson comes along to accompany him in his adventures. Percy is guided back to Camp-Half Blood, a place he has treasured since the first time he has been there. After taking care of business there, he encounters an internal conflict. Tyson was in fact a Cyclops, and Percy was shocked by the fact that he was actually his brother, and so, in one day, Percy, who was once a hero after the events in the past book turned into a person that people didn’t really honor anymore. Along with the internal conflict, he has noticed that a tree that keeps Camp Half- Blood was poisoned, and that the only cure was a golden fleece that was in the Sea of Monsters. That’s how Percy started a journey to the Sea of Monsters, in order to save Grover, and Camp Half-Blood.
