Rick Riordan

Hello,
For this book report that is supposed to be a sci-fi book, I am reading "Percy Jackson and The Sea of Monsters" By Rick Riordan. This Book is a sequel of "The Lightning Thief" were Percy, the main character finds out his friend is a satyr, his Latin teacher is a centaur, and that he is a half-blood. Which means he is a son of a god, half human and half god. he is the son of Poseidon, God of the sea, and when he prays he can receive help from him. The main plot of the story so far is that Percy has spent his school year in New York and now its getting to summer so he wants to go to camp. Chiron, his favorite teacher who cares about him told him not to because something dangerous is going on. Percy ran away from New York with his half blood and brother who is a cyclops and his friend Annabeth who is a half god too and lives in Virginia. They came to camp realizing that someone had poisoned a tree that guards the camp made out of their friend who died, Thalia. Annabeth, Tyson (his half brother) and Percy end up going on the journey to find the fleece that can save the tree and find their friend Grover who went to find it too, but failed so far and is going to marry a huge cyclops named Polyphemus.

The protagonist, Percy Jackson is a tween (about 12 or 13 int his book) and he has dyslexia but is still very smart. He really cares about his friends and almost died 8 times trying to save them, even the ones who don't like him that much or don't want to listen to him or need his help. The author just mentions that Percy has Brown hair, but that's all. Percy is caring, sweet but very brave. He is a good and loyal friend, protects and helps them and stands for their opinions.

The antagonist in the book is Luke Castellan. Although Percy and his friends faced Polyphemus the big Cyclops who almost drowned them, Luke was the one who let them do the whole journey but then came and tried (not sure if he did yet, didn't finish the book) to steel the fleece which Percy and his friends almost died trying to get it. Luke is basically trying to bring Kronos back to life, causing a lot of half-bloods to join in and he wants to bring down Olympus. has sandy blonde hair and blue eyes. He was a good friend int he begging but not trustworthy since int he first book he tried to kill Percy on a journey they were on and he hid his plan that was to actually take over and kill all his friends. He isn't a good person, not caring, hates his father, but he is strong and brave.
