Jason has a problem. He doesn't remember anything before waking up on a school bus holding hands with a girl. Apparently she's his girlfriend Piper, his best friend is a kid named Leo, and they're all students in the Wilderness School, a boarding school for "bad kids." What he did to end up here, Jason has no idea-except that everything seems very wrong.

Piper has a secret. Her father has been missing for three days, and her vivid nightmares reveal that he's in terrible danger. Now her boyfriend doesn't recognize her, and when a freak storm and strange creatures attack during a school field trip, she, Jason, and Leo are whisked away to someplace called Camp Half-Blood. What is going on?

Leo has a way with tools. His new cabin at Camp Half-Blood is filled with them. Seriously, the place beats Wilderness School hands down, with its weapons training, monsters, and fine-looking girls. What's troubling is the curse everyone keeps talking about, and that a camper's gone missing. Weirdest of all, his bunkmates insist they are all-including Leo-related to a god.

Rick Riordan, the best-selling author of the Percy Jackson series, pumps up the action and suspense in The Lost Hero, the first book in The Heroes of Olympus series. Fans of demi-gods, prophesies, and quests will be left breathless--and panting in anticipation for Book Two. The accessible and dramatic cover art by graphic novelist Nilah Magruder will attract a new generation of readers.

Also, anyone who has finished the MOA, Mark of Athena, I heard there is a new book, the one after the Mark. It's called the House of Hades. AND if you have read the MOA, don't you think the end was a HUGE cliffhanger? (Don't worry I won't tell you how it ends. I don't like spoilers, either.) (and i think the House of Hades is expected October 2013)

This book was AWESOME! I LOVE IT I LOVE IT! I very very strongly suggest reading this, including The Son of Neptune and The Mark of Athena. I have read all of these books, including the Percy and the Olympians series about.....8 times. i'm not kidding. this author, Rick Riordan, is amazing!
