The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan

adventurous funny lighthearted fast-paced

4.0

While Sea of Monsters isn’t my favourite Riordan entry, it’s a quick, easy, and enjoyable read with great additions to Percy’s journey.  I’ve always loved Riordan’s retellings of Ancient Greek mythology and Sea of Monsters is a prime example of his lighthearted, modern takes,

introducing young readers to bits and pieces of the Argonauts and the Odyssey

.

And if you liked those little bits and pieces, Madeline Miller’s Circe is an approachable read with many of these “sea of monsters” encounters in greater detail :)
