This is Percy Jackson book #2. In my opinion, this one was better than the first one (The Lightning Thief), and that one was pretty darn good already. I really like the way Riordan takes things that pretty much everyone knows about (in this case, the Bermuda Triangle) and puts a really believable mythological edge to them. Plot summary: Percy and his new friend Tyson are forced to play dodgeball with some rather burly new kids at his school. Of course, the game turns into a deadly fireball battle with Laistrygonian cannibals. That's just his typical bad luck, though. After word gets out about Percy setting the gym (and probably the whole school) on fire, his friend Annabeth takes him and Tyson to Camp Half-Blood, the only place that half-bloods, people with one parent from ancient Greek mythology, can live peacefully. Percy finds out that the camp's sacred borders are broken, and even though his enemy, the bully Clarisse, gets the official quest to find out what really happened and how to save the camp, Percy and his friends set off on their own adventure of monstrous proportions.
