Story:

This is the second film based on a series of children's novels about Percy Jackson, half-human son of Poseidon, and the adventures he has with other young demigods who live at Camp Half-Blood somewhere in North America. The books were written by high-school classics teacher Rick Riordan to entertain his young son, though one might suspect they were not entirely uninfluenced by the idea of replacing the mythical mishmash taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with the real Greek thing. A smart, derivative load of Bulfinch, its director Thor Freudenthal has a name perfectly suited to link the mythical and the psychoanalytical.
