The only person who can save the world is a teenager named Percy Jackson, who lives in NYC. Percy is son of Poseidon, and Percy is the most powerful half-blood in the world! Long ago, Zeus, Poseidon and Hades agreed to never have babies again because their children were too powerful. 16 years ago Zeus had a baby named Thalia but she died and Zeus turned her into a living pine tree. Right before she died, a prophecy that the next child of Zeus, Poseidon or Hades to reach age 16 would decide the fate of the Olympians. In this book, Thalia's tree is poisoned and the only thing that can stop her from dying is a golden fleece. The problem is that nobody knows where it is. While this is happening, Camp Half-blood, the camp where some half-bloods live, is being attacked by monsters. And I wonder why monsters don't just disappear forever?
Percy Jackson he is a dynamic, protagonist and is the main character. He is son of Poseidon, a Greek Olympian, as a matter of fact one of the three most powerful ones, Poseidon god of the sea. Percy is tall, strong, brave and everything else a son of one of the big three* has to be (*the big three are the three most powerful gods, Zeus, Poseidon and Hades). Percy has a magical item called ¿Repute¿ which is a pen that turns into a celestial, bronze sword when he uncaps it. Percy is the main character because he is going to decide whether the Olympians live or die. Luke is a static, antagonist who is also the son of a god named, Hermes. He is also tall, strong, brave and everything else a son of one of the Olympians has to be. His magical items are flying shoes. His goal is to bring the Titan lord back from the dead to kill all the Olympians and half-bloods, like Percy. He is a primary character in the story because if it weren¿t for him there would be no problem. Annabeth is a static, protagonist who is daughter of Athena. Her magical item is a Yankee baseball cap that makes her invisible when she puts it on. She is very smart, pretty and strong. She basically leads the group in terms of plans. If it weren't for Annabeth, Percy would be dead. The charters in the book are so real it's hard to believe!
A few of the reasons I liked this book are that the good plot line kept me hooked and it didn't me let go for anything, not even parts that should have been boring! I could connect to most of the characters in the book because most of the characters are dyslexic, just like me. There is a lot of action in this book. The book is even interesting during the slow parts when people are talking or traveling on their missions. This book is part of a series called ¿Percy Jackson and the Olympians.¿ The other books I have read in this series are also excellent. I think everyone will enjoy ¿The Sea of Monsters¿ and I highly recommend that you read it. You won¿t be able to put it down!
