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.

This book is about how Percy (Yup this book has Percy Jackson!) disappears and this kid named Jason mysteriously appears with no memory. It is an awesome adventure!

this book is sooo rad. I like how Leo has the power of fire and Jason is the son of Zues! The book is about Greek gods so if u don't like Greek gods u will not like this book but any way this book id sooo awesome!!

Oh. My. Gosh. This is one of the greatest books ever! I would really praise Rick Riordan if I ever met him. Seriously, this book is the greatest. BTW, also read the second and latest book to the series. :D

I thought this book was very good and it got me hooked on the series. It is about Jason, Leo, and Piper and they go on interseting adventure.

I really love this book. It has so much action and its a great book for anyone who loves adventure. I would recommend this book to everyone who loves books.

This book is so awesome,Its aboutone zuess's son. THAT BOOK IS SO AWESOME!!! I haven't finished it,because I lost it.

I decided to read this book because I would always see my sister bring home one of these book so I decided to try it out and it was great. I recommend this book to people who read the Percy Jackson books.

I wanted to read this book because its very interesting. My favorite god is Aphrodite because she's the goddess of love and beauty.

This is an amazing book, I love all Rick Riordan books! If you love the Heros of Olympu series (the book this is in) you will love the Percy Jackson series. Look for the next two books in this series...The Son of Neptune, and The Mark of Athena (coming FALL 2012). Plus look at his other series The Kane Chronicles about the Egyptian.

That book is awesome. I love this book. In future i will look for the that is wrote by Rick Riordan............... .....................................
