Percy Jackson's seventh-grade has been surprisingly quiet. Not a single monster has set foot on his new prep-school campus. But it did not last long because of a game of dodge ball that turned into a death match against giants.

Percy is the protagonist of The Sea of Monsters, an adventure by Rick Riordan. He is not very bright but he does have tremendous courage. Percy makes a friend in this book that is not human but a Cyclops.

I enjoyed reading The Sea of Monster. I like the surprises the author puts in this book, especially the big surprise in the end.

The reading strategy I used when reading this book was making mental images. The book was more entertaining when I did that. It was as though I was watching an adventure film in my head.

The author of The Sea of Monsters is Rick Riordon. Other books by this author include:

• The Lightning Thief



• The Titan's Curse



• The Battle of the Labyrinth

These books are all part of the Percy Jackson's adbentures series.

The Curse of the Gloamglozer, by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell, is a fantasy book that takes place in Sanctaphrax, a large floating city in the Edge. Quint, son of a sky pirate and new apprentice to Linius Pallitax, the most high academe, has been given some very important tasks.

Maris is the most high academe's daughter. She gets jealous of Quint because Linius has been seeing Quint more than he sees her.

I enjoyed reading The Curse of the Gloamglozer. It is one of my most favorite fantasy books that I read. I like the way the author keeps the reader guessing on what monster he has created. The narrative will cast a spell over readers from the beginning with its off-kilter sense of logic and vocabulary.

The reading strategies I used when reading this book were making mental images and reading between the lines. By reading between the lines, I was able to predict what the monster was.

The authors of the book The Curse of the Gloamglozer are Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell. They wrote the Edge Chronicles. The Edge Chronicles are a series of books about the odd life of citizens of the Edge.
