Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters

ByDawn

Disclaimer: In Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters, they use the term “gods” as a swear word, but since they specifically refer to the Greek gods, I did not feel it fell under the category of a swear word for my grading system.

If you’ve read my review on Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, there might be some similar ideas here, so sorry. That being said, I LOVE Percy Jackson. His character is so fun and exciting to watch grow up. This book is friendly for all ages, and I highly recommend reading it with or to your kids. Or just read it for yourself.

The Sea of Monsters is the second of five in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. A quick synopsis: Someone poisons the tree guarding the camp all the half-bloods (demi-gods) attend. In order to save it, they have to find the golden fleece. Hence, the adventures begin, and shenanigans ensue.

There is really no romance in this book, but the idea of romance is touched upon. There is a tad more violence in this book than in the last. However, Rick Riordan describes that violence in a way that is more humorous than graphic. As for swearing, I didn’t notice any besides what I mention in the disclaimer above.

If you like Greek mythology at all, I cannot recommend these books enough. Seriously, if you can’t buy it, get it from the library. It will be worth it.

Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry

ByDawn

  I swear Lois Lowry is going to kill me with these cliffhangers. Gathering Blue has an even worse cliffhanger than The Giver did. If this series needed more books written, I’d go insane waiting. I mean, I’ve read books that clarify there is more to come before, but never like this. These books seem…

Lady Terra and the Farm Boy: Part 2

ByDawn

If you missed part one, find it here. The leaves crunched beneath her feet as Lady Terra walked through the forest. She paused when she reached its end. Her brows furrowed as she examined the scene before her. The town had grown into a city, and the forest had shrunk. Despite the difference, Lady Terra continued…

The Giver by Lois Lowry

ByDawn

Should I have read this book years ago? Probably. Did I? No. The Giver is one of those books that has been on my list to read for years, but I never got around to doing it – until now. Man, was I missing out. The Giver is about a boy named Jonas who lives…

Unforeseen Consequences

ByDawn

I placed the plate of eggs and bacon in front of my husband before yelling, “Jim! Katie! Hurry up you’re going to miss your bus.” I turned back to the sink and inhaled slowly, my back tensing as I face the pile of dirty dishes. The tepid water lapped against my wrists as I swirled…

Fablehaven

ByDawn

I liked Fablehaven. I did not love it. It was fine. Don’t get me wrong; it had a lot of interesting ideas. I loved the idea of having preserves for magical creatures so they didn’t go extinct. I loved the idea that there are extremists who want to let chaos into the world and have…
