The Sea of Monsters.

The Sea of Monsters, by Rick Riordan, is a 279 paged novel about a young half-blood(half human-half God) trying to save his camp and his best friend. One day, a half-blood named Percy finds out his camp, camp Half-Blood, is in danger since Luke (someone who went to Krono’s side) poisoned the magical border, and that his best friend, Grover, is being held captive by a Cyclops. To make it worse, the camp director, Dionysus won’t allow Percy to go by allowing Percy’s enemy, Clarisse, to go instead. With the help of his Cyclops brother, Tyson, a friend named Annabeth, and his father, Poseidon, he saved the camp and Grover. The main theme is hope.

The theme that appears the most seems to be hope. First, when Percy thought Tyson was dead, he tried to keep on going. Time was also running out, but Percy, Tyson, and Annabeth didn’t turn back. They did lose their ship 3 times, but still found their way. I would recommend this book due to the comedy and action.
