Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters Award-winning author by Rick Riordan (author) (UK edition)

Percy’s had a quiet year. Not a single monster has set foot in his New York school. But out of the blue, a game of dodgeball with some cannibal giants turns very UGLY. And worse is to come… The magical borders protecting Half-Blood Hill’s young demi-gods are failing. Somebody has poisoned the magical pine tree which protects the borders from danger. As demons and monsters attack, the only way to restore the tree’s power is to find the mythical Golden Fleece, rumoured to have legendary healing gifts. But the Fleece lies lost across the Sea of Monsters, a place of treachery and terror. And guess who is going to tackle the deadly quest of finding it? That’s right: Percy Jackson!

Rick Riordan

Rick Riordan is a teacher and a writer, and has won many awards for his mystery novels for adults. He says that the idea for Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief first came to him while he was teaching Greek mythology at middle school in San Francisco. But rumour has it that Camp Half Blood actually exists, and Rick spends his summers there recording the adventures of young demigods. Some believe that, to avoid a mass panic among the mortal population, he was forced to swear on the River Styx to present Percy Jackson’s story as fiction. Rick lives in Texas (apart from his summers on Half Blood Hill) with his wife and two sons.
