When Percy comes back to Camp Half-Blood for the summer, he knows that something weird is up. The magical borders that protect the campers and stop monsters getting in is fading, resulting in danger. This is all because Thalia's tree is dying; someone poisoned it. Chiron's been fired and Tantalus is now in charge of all the activities. Tantalus doesn't care about Thalia's tree and the fact that everyone is in danger, but Percy, Annsbeth and Tyson the Cyclopes know they have to do something. Percy has dreams about Grover (who is on a quest looking for the Great Pan) but is now traped on a island by an evil Cyclopes. In the morning, Annsbeth tells Percy that the Golden Fleece can save Thalia's tree, but the fleece has been lost for centuries. Then, at night, Percy has a new dream about Grover, and again, that island appeares. It's really beautiful and tropical and there's this golden thing hanging in one of the trees. The Golden Fleece. When Percy tells Annabeth about this, she tells him that Grover must be using Telepathicy to reach Percy and that the fleece really is on that island, the ine where Grover is trapped. In the Sea of Monsters. As Thalia's tree only has a few weeks to live in, Percy, Annabeth and Tyson sneak out of camp, with help from Hermes, and set sail for the Sea of Monsters. On their journey, they overcome Scylla and her sister Charybdis, Circe the enchantess and the oldest and biggest Cyclopes ever. However, will they have time to return? And can the fleece really save Thalia's tree?
Another fabulous Percy Jackson book by Rick Riordan, filled with humour, action and acient greek mystery. I greatly enjoyed reading this book and it's one of the best I've ever read. So..read it!
