The Sea of Monsters, by Rick Riordan, is the book I have read. It's the sequel to last years nominee, The Lightning Thief, and Book Two in the Percy Jackson and The Olmypians series. When the borders of Camp Half-Blood are posioned by Luke, son of Hermesand former Camp Half-Blood camp counselor gone wrong, Percy knows he'll have to save his camp, both to save everything he cares about, and to stop the Titan Lord, Kronos, from re- forming. But Percy is banned from the quest. But that won't stop him from going. With his friend Annabeth, and his new cyclops half- brother, Tyson, he must journey into The Sea of Monsters to not only save the camp, and stop Kronos, but to save his longtime friend Grover. And this book has an ending you won't believe. Will Camp Half-Blood be destoryed? Will Kronos pevail? Read The Sea of Monsters to find out.
