The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan (2006)

Couldn't stay away from these quick exciting little books, so this is Book 2 of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. This time we learn of the various sea-faring myths including ones from the Odyssey. We run into Poseidon, Medusa, the Sirens, Cyclops, Golden Fleece , Circe and more.

I again liked the interplay between today's world and the mythological one - like Harry Potter's world, where the regular humans don't really see the magiv and like in Men in Black, hey are helped to forget things.

I liked Percy's new side-kick Tyson and the waves at sea that formed sea creatures that carried them on part of their adventure.
