The Sea of Monsters ~ Rick Riordan (Percy Jackson and the Olympians #2)

★★★★☆

In my opinion, this is where the series really begins. Though it's shorter, the plot is more concise, the characters deeper, the world more believable. I love Tyson and Clarisse and the roles they play. The humor isn't at the expense of logic and reality and doesn't have unsettling implications (which was often a problem in the first book). I love this book. Really brings me back to when I was Percy's age and I was exploring my love of reading.
