About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with their place in the world, particularly if they feel like their 'differences' are burdens rather than assets. This graphic novel adaptation of the second Percy Jackson adventure follows Percy as he journeys into the dangerous Sea of Monsters to save his summer camp and rescue his best friend. Beyond the high-stakes action, the story deeply explores themes of identity and the realization that family history, no matter how complicated or messy, is something we can choose to define for ourselves. It is an ideal pick for readers aged 9 to 12 who prefer visual storytelling. The fast-paced format makes complex mythological concepts and internal emotional struggles accessible, providing a safe space to discuss loyalty, the nuance of 'good vs. evil,' and the courage it takes to stand up for those who are misunderstood by society.
