About This Book

After discovering a secret that makes him question the honor of being the son of Poseidon, demi-god Percy Jackson journeys into the Sea of Monsters in an attempt to save Camp Half-Blood.

Our Review

This graphic novel adaptation plunges readers directly into the treacherous waters of Greek mythology, where Percy Jackson's second adventure unfolds with cinematic urgency. The visual format brings the Sea of Monsters to vivid life, transforming the quest to save Camp Half-Blood into an immersive experience where Cyclopes, sirens, and ancient curses leap off the page with dynamic energy that complements Riordan's original storytelling.

What makes this version particularly compelling is how the artwork captures both the epic scale of mythological battles and the nuanced emotions of a young hero grappling with difficult truths about his divine heritage. Teen readers who thrive on visual storytelling will find this adaptation especially engaging, while existing fans will appreciate seeing their favorite scenes and characters rendered with such care. The graphic novel format ultimately makes Percy's journey feel more immediate and visceral, delivering an impact that will resonate long after the final page.
