Julia Eccleshare's comment:
The brand new Percy Jackson for all those who have been fans for ages and for others who have just been introduced to him through the brilliant edge of your seat film. The Percy Jackson series is a deserved bestseller as it’s a clever and brilliantly crafted fusion of the worlds of gods and humans. Schoolboy Percy, son of Poseidon, knows from the prophecies that bad things will happen when he turns sixteen, but even he doesn’t know how bad those things might be! Now Percy must face down Kronos, Lord of the Titans, who has gone on the rampage and threatens to storm Mount Olympus. The clash of cultures and the clash of might, makes this a thrilling adventure.

Oh, and the dreaded (and not to mention enormous) monster Typhon is also heading our way. So it's me and forty of my demigod friends versus untold evil...
