Things have quieted down a bit as the introspective Percy has begun questioning his own abilities as a hero as he is constantly outshone by the bitchy Clarisse ( Leven Rambin). Jackson) successfully returned Zeus’ ( Sean Bean) stolen thunderbolt and Percy came to an understanding with his absent father Poseidon ( Kevin McKidd) and took his place among the other half-human sons and daughters of the Olympian Gods. But his greatest challenges come in the world’s darkest hour.Based on Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson & the Olympians young adult novel series, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters picks up a few months after the events of the underwhelming Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief in which Percy ( Logan Lerman) and his fellow demigod best buds Annabeth ( Alexandra Daddario) and Grover ( Brandon T. He stands ready to assist when Annabeth leads the charge into the mind-blowing Labyrinth. With his best friends Annabeth Chase, intimidating and intelligent daughter of Athena, and Grover Underwood, omnivorous half-man, half-goat, the son of Poseidon solves the mystery of Zeus’s stolen lightning bolt, saves Camp Half-Blood by recovering the long-lost Golden Fleece, and frees the goddess Artemis before she’s crushed by the weight of the sky. Welcome to the beginning of Percy Jackson’s new life, a life where Greek mythology intersects modern day, where ADHD is an asset not a disorder, and where dangerous quests are the most sought-after activity. Their destination is the camp, but their chances of making it there don’t look good. Percy learns all this as he, his mother, and his best friend Grover Underwood-who is not a teenage boy, but a satyr the hooves and horns were a dead giveaway–are fleeing for their lives. But luckily, there’s a place where the children of the gods are safe: Camp Half-Blood. Any demigod living in the real world is vulnerable. Then they like them very much.) When monsters smell half-bloods, they attack. (Unless they’re served up as tasty snacks. Unfortunately, Greek monsters are also real, and they don’t like demigods. Demigods, or half-bloods as they’re also known. Sometimes those relationships result in children. (Why there? Because Mount Olympus moves to wherever the center of Western civilization is-which is New York City, apparently, at least in the Olympians’ eyes.) Now and then, the gods come to earth and form relationships with mortals. The Greek gods of myth are real and living in Mount Olympus high above the Empire State Building.

Percy Jackson’s first reaction to learning he’s a demigod is…huh? But it’s true.
