Percy Jackson & the Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan

Seventh-grader Percy Jackson has had quite a year. It was exciting finding out his father is Poseidon making him a half-blood, spending summer camp with other half-bloods and mythical creatures, now he is disappointed that he won't be allowed to go to summer camp this year. His summer starts like this: he is dreaming about Grover, the satyr running for his life on the streets of Florida. How can he help Grover? Does he really have a half-brother? What is Clarisse's search for? Lots of excitement and adventure in this, the second in the series. This reader likes the story line and action. Sandy Penton
