A dodge ball game at school gets way out of hand and Percy, Annabel and Tyson race for camp half-blood. They arrive to find monsters destroying the camp. In order to secure the magical boundaries they must find the golden fleece which is somewhere in the sea of monsters. They journey over sea to the place where the fleece lies. They save their friends and then return. Thalia's tree is healed and now the daughter of Zeus is alive.

In order to save her and the goddess Artemis, Percy, Thalia, Bianca Di Milo, Zoe and Grover set off across the continent. The oracle said that at least two of them would die in the quest. In the end Olympus has some people to thank.
Battle Of The Labyrinth
When Percy's new High school is attacked he races to Camp Half-Blood. The new threat is the Labyrinth, a underground maze. New evidence shows Luke my be trying to attack camp via a tunnel. Annabeth, Percy, Grover, Tyson and Nico plunge into the underground maze. They must face the enemy time and again but can they destroy the Labyrinth?
The Last Olympian
Percy's 16th birthday is a week away. Kronos' army is building up and heading to New York City. Lots of lives have been lost fighting but Percy is determined to succeed. While the gods are occupied by their own wars it is up to the hero's to hold New York and stop Kronos/Luke from destroying Olympus"block by block". It is the high energy end to the series. I would highly recommend this book. if you never read this book the series will pretty much be a waste, so read it.
