The Sea of Monsters/Rick Riordan/279 pgs.

This is book 2 in the Percy Jackson & The Olympians series.  Percy Jackson's 7th grade school year was pretty uneventful until some monsters show up to engage in a deadly game of dodge ball.  On top of that, the magical borders that protect Camp Half-Blood have been compromised, leaving the safe haven for demi-gods in danger. There is plenty of action, humor, and adventure. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this series.
