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 for Book Two.
