What’s inside...

In this fast-paced graphic adaptation of Rick Riordan’s second Percy Jackson adventure, Percy, Annabeth, and new friend Tyson race against time to find the mythical Golden Fleece. Without it, Camp Half-Blood—the only safe haven for modern demigods—will be destroyed, and Percy’s best friend Grover will be eaten by the Cyclops Polyphemus. Set in today’s United States but rooted deeply in ancient Greek myth, the quest sends the heroes through the Bermuda Triangle’s Sea of Monsters, onto an enchanted cruise ship, and into duels with sirens, sorceresses, and an irate Cyclops. Visually dynamic panels, witty narration, and faithful mythological lore make the story equally appealing to reluctant and avid readers.
