Hi,
So here is another amazing post about the fantasy book "Percy Jackson and The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan. The book is set in the 21st century (current) during summertime. It starts off in Manhattan, in Percy's school which is a progressive private one. Then the setting goes on to Long Island which is where Camp-Half Blood is located. Camp half blood is a camp for half bloods who are kids of the Greek gods and a mortal. The next setting is at the sea of monsters, which is basically the Bermuda triangle. In the Sea Of Monsters Percy and his friends visit a few islands, one a goddess names Circe on it that looked like a paradise but transformed Percy into a guinea pig. Another was the Island of the Sirens who would tell you your future or other things and then attracted you near and ate you. The last of the islands was the Cyclops island. The last setting before Percy and his friends came back to Camp was Miami Beach were Luke, the antagonist tried to stop Percy from finishing his quest.
The conflict in this book is Man vs. Man. The protagonist, Percy, had just had a great year at his school and didn't fight any monsters until the last day of school. He had one friend who protected and loved him at this school named Tyson, who turned out to be his half brother (son of Poseidon too). Annabeth, a friend who was with him at camp last year came to rescue him from some monsters on the last day of school and they had to escape that trouble and police so they set off to camp half blood. The camp is in deep trouble since the Thalia's tree has been poisoned. Thalia's tree is a tree who was once a girl named Thalia, daughter of Zeus. She has been turned into a tree as a result of protecting her friends and letting them go into the camp instead of herself and that tree protects the camp and doesn't let no monsters in it.
Percy decides to go on his own quest with Annabeth and Tyson to find his friend Grover who was also looking for the fleece and accidentally got trapped and is about to marry a Cyclops. Percy wants to rescue both the fleece and Grover but Clarrise, daughter of Ares, was sent to go on the quest. Percy gets trapped and confused while he's on his journey but the main problem is that Luke, the antagonist is also looking for the fleece and said he will do anything to stop Percy from getting it. He made Percy almost get killed about 8 times and get the fleece for him but failed to get it, or maybe he purposely failed. When Percy and his friends place the golden fleece on the tree and it heals, something terrible happens. They have all been tricked.
