Chapter read (17-20)
The horses of the sea take them to Miami and when they were on the beach with normal clothes they send Clarrise with The Golden Fleece to the airport and she can arrive safely to camp and faster. Clarrise get in a cap and went to the airport. After that Percy turn around and a pointy sword and that was Luke. Then they were prisioners at the Princess Andromeda. So percy trow a golden drachma to the flor behind Luke and it was Mr.D and he hear everything and Chiron wasn't the one that spell the Thalias tree. Then Percy ask Luke if he could fight him and if he wins they will stay but if Percy wins they will go. The Fight started and Luke almost killed Percy, but suddenly Chiron with many centaurs of different type of color, some with bows and arrows and paintball guns they have take out Percy, Annabeth, Grover and Tyson. Then Percy and Chiron had a talk about a prophecy and then Percy discover Chiron is son of Kronos. They arrive at camp put the fleece in Thalias tree then Tyson have made a super chariot with many things like weapons and all that, also Annabeth and Percy won the Chariot race. Tyson need to tell something tpo Percy and that was that Poseidon has invite him to the underwater. After that Grover woke up Percy because something was happening and was that Thalia (son of Zeus) has live again and that was how Kronos want it he want to put ''another chess pice into game''(Riordan 279).
''An actual letter from my father. Maybe he would tell me I'd done a good job getting the Fleece. He'd explain about Tyson, or apologize for not talking to me sooner. There were so many things that I wanted that letter to say. I opened the envelope and unfolded the paper. Two simples were printed in the middle of the page: Brace Yourself
I think this quote is really strange an confusing. Why he need to get prepare? For what? For the prophecy ? Does this need to with Tyson?
'' You were going to heal Kronos'', i said.
''Yes !The fleece magic would,ve sped his mending process by tenfold. But you havnen't stopped us, Percy. You've only slowed us a little.''
Final Thoughts and Comments
I really like this book was really good, and this chapters were like mystery and not mystery because they were talking about the fleece. I will like to read the next book and I know that it will be awesome. I love this type of books because there are from history of greek gods and I like that. For the last thing to say was fun to read it and I recommended this book.

The Golden Fleece is safe
Chapters read (13-16)
Percy and Annabeth were in the Queen Annes Revenge looking for the sea of monsters. While they were on their path Annabeth saw an island and she told to Percy that that was the island of the sirens. Then Annabeth ask Percy if they could pass trough that island because if you hear the songs of the sirens and you survive you will become wiser. Percy stop out his ears with candle wax. Then he tie Annabeth with some ropes When they were passing trough the island Annabeth began to move. She got out of the ropes and began to swim to the sirens. Then Percy follow her in the sea then he discover that the songs of the sirens could not be hear down the water. So he and Annabeth that was trying to swim to the sirens. Percy almost lost Annabeth but they safely got abroad. They finally had arrive to the island that Grover was. When they got to the top of the island they saw the The Golden Fleece but it wasn't to easy to get it because it was surrounded by sheep and those animals were canivals. After few more minutes they saw Polyphemus and Grover they were going to safe Grover until Clarisse apear and she mess up everything she told the cyclops that Grover wasn't a cyclop girl and was a satyr. So Polyphemus said he would eat him but Grover said him that if he eats him he will be so sick, and he need to cook him with mangos. Then Polyphemus put Clarisse and Grover in his cave. Then Percy get in the cave without the cyclops see him. Also Annabeth put his invisible cap and scream to Polyphemus that she was nobody and he dosen't know were she was and she distract him then Percy get out of the cave with Grover and Clarisse. Then the cyclop got Annabeth and then Percy convince Polyphemus to put her down and he trow Annabeth and she was hit by some rocks. then Tyson appear and he wasn't dead and he help defeat Polyphemus. After, Tyson get the golden fleece and the sheeps don't do anything to him because he was a cyclop. Then the sheeps want to eat and Tyson do not have a human so the began to run. Everybody were on the beach and they began to get to The Queen Anne's Revenge until they hear a !ROOOOOOAR!. It was Polyphemus na he wasn't mad because of the golden fleece. It was because Tyson that was a cyclop has trade him. Percy and Tyson were fighting until Clarisse yelled ''Yeah Jackson! In your face, Cycolp!''(Riordan 228). Polyphemus get mad and trow a big rock to the ship and it was sinking. Then Percy and Tyson were under the water and pray his father for help and he send the horses of the sea. they got in one of those horses and they were getting away from the island and Polyphemus thought he defeat nobody but he wasn't write
"They say that the sirens sing the truth about what did you desire. They tell you things about yourself you didn't even realize. That's what's so enchanting. If you survive . . . you become wiser. I want to hear them."
I think Annabeth is doing something like a little bit wrong because what if isn't true. Also is to dangerous to do that is like almost killing yourself. Annabeth need to be very brave to do somthing like that. Why does Annabeth want to hear them? Does she wants to know the secrets of everybody? What is she trying to do?
"I did it! I finally sank Nobody!''
When I read this, it make me feel like really strange because how some one could say that. What Polyphemus said has non sense and maybe Polyphemus will think and have a conclusion that nobody is nobody. Why Polyphemus was a like not to intelligent? Why and how he stole The Golden Fleece? Why satyr are attract by The Golden Fleece.
Final Thoughts and Comments
The book is almost finish and am love it it is awesome. I will wish that the book will never end. Well this chapters were a little intense, because it was the fight with the Cyclops and all that. But the good thing is that The Golden Fleece is safe. My predictions is that in the next chapters they will safe the camp and Thalia will be alive.

Reunited with an old friend
Summary of chapters read (9-12)
When they were
hiding they decide to go out and get out of the ship. But suddenly Luke appear
so he was surprise seeing Annabeth and Percy so he began to talk with them.
Percy told Luke what his Hermes had told him and Luke didn't change of opinon.
So he ask his body guards to take them to a cage in the ship, (the body
guards are the same monsters of the dogeball chapter). When the monsters were
taking the three to the cage, !Tyson began to fight the monsters and when they
were really hurt they began to run to the safe boat!. It was getting dark, and
Annabeth, Tyson and Percy were alone in the sea. Then three remember that
Hermes gave Percy a thermos wind, when they open up the thermos. !A bunch of
wind began to come out of the thermos and bum they began to go supper fast with
the life boat. Then they got to Virginia Beach and Annabeth show them her old
bunker, that have been constucted with the hands of Annabeth, Thalia and Luke.
then Percy and Annabeth need to talk so they ask Tyson if he could buy some
donuts. When the both were talking Tyson get to the shelter with some donuts.
That was strange because there are not donuts in the middle of the forest so
Tyson lead Percy and Annabeth to the store and the name was !MONSTER
DONUT!"This is bad"(Riordan141) Annabeth said. They were looking to
the store until something move in the leaves, it was a a monster with many
heads and with a rhino size. they can defeat the monster with fire but they
didn't have it. After they were fighting and fighting they began to hear
something and was an engine and "CSS Birmingham". They didn't
know ho the boat was. But what surprise it was Clarrise boat. They get aboard
of CSS Birmingham and Clarisse told them that they were in so much trouble. The ship have dead sailors like zombies. When Percy went to sleep he, saw Grover and Polyphemus get him out side and he show him the island, !It was so beautiful! Then Polyphemus show Grover The Golden Fleece. So Polyphemus told Grover that this magic item give him infinite food because it attract satyrs and Grover was one of them. After that Grover said Percy you need to hurry we do not have to much time. Some one woke up Percy to be ready for the entrance "the entrance to what"(Riordan 151). Percy went up and the sky was overcast. Then Percy discover that they were going to pass between Charybdis and her sister Scylla. when they were passing between the brothers, the engine get damage so Tyson went to fix it but after few minutes !KABOOOOOM! the boat explote and Percy was unconscious so Annabeth put him in a raft. Percy woke up and he was in shock because he saw his friend or brother die. then Percy and Annabeth get to this beach and this was a hotel. It was the C.C.´S SPA AND RESORT. They meet the administrator and she said that they need to do a change on their faces so the bad thing was that the adiminstrator (C.C) was a witch so she transform Percy into a guinea pig. Annabeth finish her spa ad she was beautiful. but Annabeth ask C.C were was percy and she said something that wasn't true. Then she discover that C.C was Circe and also she disc over that percy was a guineon pig but there were to many and she didnt know hwo Percy was. wile Annabeth was thinking Percy was moving and moving so Annabeth can see him. Then Circe enter to the room and she was going to do some magic in her but she ate the multivitamins of Hermes. Circe cant do magic on her so Annabeth trow the multivitamins at the cage of all the guinea pigs and every pig began to make humaNs and there were persons that have more than threhundred years. then Annabeth and Percy got running to the many boats that were on the beach (Those boats and submarines were from the persons that were transform in guinea pig). They take the pirates boat that was the "Queen Anne's Revenge'' and that ship do not have an engine so the pirates were geting closer and closer to kill Annabeth and Percy. So Percy concentrate in the waves and !BUMMMMM! the ship began to move and they were on the way to the sea of monsters
''I couldn't see anything. I spun in the air, got clonked on the head by something hard, and hit the water the water with a crash that would've broken every bone in my body if i hadn't been the son of the Sea god.
The last thing i remembered was sinking in a burning sea, knowing that tyson was gone forever, and wishing I were able to drown.'' (Riordan 164)
When I read this quote it make me fell a little strange I do not know why. But also this is sad because Tyson want to safe every body but he could not. I also think that Tyson can't die that easy so maybe we would reappear. Can Tyson reappear? How? Can one of the principals persons on the book can die that easily? Can maybe the water can help him live again? he is son of poseidon.
''The engine hummed. The boilers were heating up so much I could fell the deck getting warm beneath my feet. The smokestacks billowed. The red Ares flag whipped in the wind'' (Riordan 157)
When I read this quote I think of Clarisse because she want to do this quest so bad and she is a litte bit hurry. So when you are hurry you mess up things.Why she want that quest so badly? Why Clarisse didnt slow down? they could fix that engine
Final Thoughts and Comments
This chapters were good but not so much i like the part when they got out of the hotel. But also this was sad because of Tyson. If Clarrise will go more slowly Tyson will not die. What I think is going to happend on the next chapters is that they find Grover and Tyson will be back and they will safe the camp.

The unexpected journey
Summary of chapters read (5-8)
After all the problems in the morning all the
campers need to go to dinner so when they were there everyone look at Tyson and
laugh. They didn't know what he was doing in the camp. So the new director of
the camp (Tantalus) put him in a cabin in where his god father or mother will
claimed him. Then poseidon claimed him and everyone began to laugh at Percy
because he have a cyclope for brother. Percy and Tyson now live at the same
cabin. Before that, Tantalus have said that in five days is going to a chariot
race of each cabin. One day after the race Percy began to dream of Grover, he
was on a cage and a voice really strong was making orders to Grover. It was the
morning of the race, then Percy told Annabeth about the dream and she was only
focus on the race and do not belive Percy. When the race began everyone were in
his horses racing they see some pigeons that were aproaching to camp and really
fast. The pigeons began to attack them and everyone began to fight back but
Clarisse didn't stop because she want to win the race. After the pigeons were
defeated. Annabeth discover that what Percy told her was true. So both want to
ask permission if they could go find Grover. They ask Tantalus at dinner and
every camper hear what just happend to Grover. So Tantalus said that no,
and then he give this quest to the winner of the chariot race and the winner
was Clarisse. She was the one that supposedly save Grover. At night percy was
drinking a soda on the beach and then a man appear and it was Hermes. Percy and
Hermes had a talk about Luke, and Hermes was asking Percy if Luke can forgive
Hermes and not to be mad to him or the world. Also the Hermes give Percy some
magic items like multivitamins and thermos of wind. After all the talk hermes
said if you want to safe your friend Grover you can aboard the Princess
Andromeda. Also Hermes said to Percy your friends are coming with you. Then
Hermes disappear and Annabeth, Tyson were runing to Percy asking if he was ok.
Percy was confuse.Then Percy ask his father if he could help him get to the
ship, so poseidon send some horses of sea. With does creatures they arrived to
the Princess Andromeda. When they were in there the ship they discover it was
abandoned they search every room and no one until they got to the suite and
there was a bag with clothes and a basket with chocolate. Percy was sleep and
began to dream of Grover, he was asking for help. The next morning someone wake
them up by the microphone of the ship. Percy, Annabeth and Tyson got up they
went outside and saw people in the ship and tyson smell the ship and it smell
strange. So Percy realize that only smells funny when there are monsters. They
were hiding in some where on the ship and percy hear a voice really familiar,
until he realize that the voice is from Luke and know he understand why Hermes
put Percy in that ship, to talk with Luke and change him and make him a good
guy again
"Percy?" grover said. "Please, I don't
have the strength to protect any better. You have to hear me!""I hear
you", I said. " Grover, what's going on?". From behind the
boulder, a monstrous voice yelled, "Honeypie! Are you done yet?".
Grover flinched. he called out in falsetto, " Not quiet, dearest!
A few more days!" "Bah! Hasn't it been
two weeks yet?""N-no, dearest. Just five days. That leaves twelve
more days to go". The monster was silent, maybe trying to do the math. He
must've been worse at arithmetic than I was , because he said, "All right,
but hurry! I want to SEEEEE under that veil, heh-heh-heh." Grover turned
back to me. " You have to help me! No time! I'm stuck in this cave. on an
island in the sea" "Where?" " I don't know exactly! I went
to florida and I turn left""What? How did you--" " It's a
trap!" Grover said (73)
When I read this quote it make me feel confuse because
i do not know what is happening and why. Also I think that Grover is in trouble
and need some help. Is Grover with Chronos or other type of cannibal? Why is
happening this to Grover? Does this need to be a part of Grover quest? Why is
a trap
"Before the race began, I tried to approach
Annabeth and tell her about my dream. She perked up when I mentioned Grover,
but when I told her what he'd said, she seemed to get distant again,
suspicious."You're trying to distract me," she decide. "What? no
I'm not!"
When I read this quote I think that Annabeth some
times she just want to win. What is doing Annabeth is realy realy bad. Why she
do not was interested in his friend Grover?. DOes she do not whant to safe
Grover?. Is she also a bad person like Luke
Final Thoughts and Comments
This four other chapters are a little bit confuse and
not so confuse, so is like the book has many mysteries. What I think is going
to happend next is that they find Luke and he wants to kill them so they need
to get out of there. So when they do the will go to the Sea of Monsters and
they will find Grover.
It began with a dream...
The Sea of Monsters
Rick Riordan
Summary of chapters read (1-4)
Percy Jackson was dreaming about his friend Grover, in the dream Grover was running from a monster and he hid in a wedding dress store, Grover said "Have to get away. Have to warn them!" (Riordan 2). The next day was Percy last day of school and he has not been in trouble the whole year. That morning, Percy's mom woke him up and he saw a shadow on his window. When he got to school with his friend Tyson (he is a poor guy with no parent and no education, adopted by Meriwether College Prep) they face bullies in the test that the English teacher had made about The Lord of the Flies. After that test, they had a dodgeball game without teacher supervision, popular guys vs. bullied guys, beside the popular guys, bigger and stronger people began to arrive. Percy realized that they were monsters, because in the game the monster began to throw dodge balls in fire. This game caused a lot of mess because the walls had holes and Percy was blamed for everything, when he ran away with Tyson they found Annabeth with a Yankees cap, a gift from Athena, her mother and the cap made her invisible. Then Annebeth took Percy and Tyson to a place and in there was a taxi with three old women. The taxi drivers said that they couldn't drive Tyson because he wasn't a half blood so Annabeth said she will pay more drachmas. The three women were blind and Percy was afraid. They returned to Camp Half Blood and saw two metal bulls that threw fire. Tyson could not enter because he was not a Half Blood, Annabeth gave and order, a lightning fell and Tyson was able to enter. Percy reencountered with Clarisse and she was mad because she thought that if Percy did not arrive to camp she will defeat the bulls alone. The three of them fought and killed the bulls. Then Annabeth, Percy and Tyson went to Chiron office and he was packing up his stuff because he was going away. Percy and Annabeth were confused, they ask him what happened and he told that the Thaila's tree was poisoned, and the gods blamed Chiron. So the gods took out the immortality and he could not be the director of the camp any more...
"Grover stumbled, whimpering in fear. He muttered to himself, 'Have to get away. Have to warn them!' I couldn't see what was chasing him, But I could hear it muttering and cursing" (2).
When I read this quote i feel that something was going wrong in the book, I didn't know what was going to happen, I was afraid. What will happen to Grover? is this a sign of a mystery? Is someone from the Half Blood Camp in danger?
"Matt Sloan spilled a cage full of balls in the middle of the gym. "Scared,"Tyson mumbled. "Smells funny". I look at him. "What smells funny?" Because I didn't figured he was talking about himself. "Them". Tyson pointed at Sloan new friends. "Smells funny." The visitors were crackling their knuckles, eyeing us like it was slaughter time." (15)
This quote confuses me because when tyson said "smells funny". I didn't understand what was he talking about and if the smell had a meaning. Is Tyson the only one who can smell it? Or the rest of the school can smell it too? It was confusing to me because I did not understand the relationship between the dodgeball game and the smell.
Final Thoughts and Comments
I think the book is too awesome and also is interesting. What i think is going to happen on the next chapters will be that Grover will apear on the camp and Chronos is chasing him. Then the people of the camp will fight. Then Percy, Annabeth, Grover and Tyson will escape. So Chronos will chase them until dead.
