Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters
by Rick Riordan
The camp's magical border is failing, and Percy sails into the Sea of Monsters to find the Golden Fleece before it falls.
A story about children and magical creatures, adventurous and funny in tone. We would put it with children of 9–12, and at a reading age of about 10 for reading alone.
Worth knowing before you buy
- Battles and fighting
- Mild peril
None of this makes it a bad book — often the opposite. It is here so you can decide whether it is right for your child now or in a year or two.
Part of a series
This is book 2 of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, so there is more to read if it goes down well — which is worth a great deal with a reluctant reader.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
