Inside an ordinary middle school in an ordinary city, a small redheaded eighth grader is doing something very ordinary, indeed. Ever since Charlotte Mielswetzski and her cousin, Zee, saved the world, life has been rather ordinary. Ordinary, that is, if you call being ultramegagrounded (in Charlotte's case) or treated as if you might fall to pieces (in Zee's case) ordinary. Either way, heroes deserve better.
Of course, no one knows Charlotte and Zee are heroes. It's not like they can simply announce that Greek myths are real or proclaim they have returned from the Underworld, where they rescued all of mankind from Philonecron, a deranged demigod with delusions of grandeur. Instead, they are forced to keep this terrible knowledge to themselves, and are stuck in a state of extraordinary ordinariness.
But things aren't quite as ordinary as they seem. For Philonecron is the grandson of Poseidon, and you don't mess with the progeny of the second most powerful god in the universe. And Philonecron himself isn't so happy about having all of his delicious plans thwarted by mortal children. He wants revenge, and with his grandfather to help him, he is going to get what he wants.
For Charlotte and Zee, their not-so-ordinary lives are about to be disrupted once again. This time it's not the world they must save -- it's themselves.
In the thrilling second installment of the Cronus Chronicles trilogy, author Anne Ursu brings her trademark wit to a spectacular adventure on the high seas.

Again - I am a grandmother reading and discussing this with a granddaughter. She loves the series so far. This book in the series (2) tells the story of Charlotte who in the 1st book saved the world. She is grounded because her parents think she was disobeying them when she and her cousin Zee were keeping the world safe from the gods.
This time she saves her parents and a ship full of other adults from Posiden. How she gets into the predicament and how she gets out of it is what makes the story exciting.
These books just keep getting better. I loved the story and sense of humor. My one disappointment was that the book delivered didn't have the dust jacket shown. It had new artwork which didn't match the other books I have from the series.
This second installment in the Cronus Chronicles carries Zee and Charlotte on to new adventures, ever more dire decisions and we get to meet more Greek gods, particularly Poseidon. Philonecron is always, thankfully, about trying to wreak havoc and get his revenge on poor Charlotte.
The only low spot here was the romance element thrown in - I could have gladly done without it.
5 stars I love it, it is a more old version of the Percy Jackson series 1
and more adventurous and heartbeating
