Percy Jackson's seventh-grade year has been surprisingly quiet. Not a single monster has set foot on his New York prep-school campus. But when an innocent game of dodgeball among Percy and his classmates turns into a death match against an ugly gang of cannibal giants, things get . . . well, ugly. And the unexpected arrival of Percy's friend Annabeth brings more bad news: the magical borders that protect Camp Half-Blood have been poisoned by a mysterious enemy, and unless a cure is found, the only safe haven for demigods will be destroyed.
In this fresh, funny, and hugely anticipated follow up to The Lightning Thief, Percy and his friends must journey into the Sea of Monsters to save their beloved camp. But first, Percy will discover a stunning new secret about his family -- one that makes him question whether being claimed as Poseidon's son is an honor or simply a cruel joke.

Better than the first in my opinion.:
Even though I gave the first book in the Olympian Series 4 stars as well, it was more like 3.5. I'd give this book a full half-star more just because a majority of the story takes place away from Hogwarts (erm I mean, Camp Half Blood) and has less of a Harry Potter feel to it. The main thing? Percy and company are back for their 7th grade years and things are seemingly going well for Percy so far. After all, he's enjoying his New York prep school and when Book 2 begins is going into his last day without a... more info
