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.

The book was ok.... except i think that he should have stopped with the Percy Jackson series, THEN made this series as a side series like The Red Pyramid and stuff.... but the book was still good.

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.

i love this book! ive read all the percy jackson series and couldnt wait for this to come out last year! im reading The son of Neptune now! they should totally make a movie outa this!

Pretty Good although i do reccomend reading the son of neptune,well cause its te second book in the series also check out the mark of athena coming this fall!

This book is a great book for those of you who like Roman and Greek Mythology. Rick Riordan rotates the story between 3 main protaganists. The 3 young kids soon find out they are demigods or son/daughters of gods. They go on a huge adventure. Jason, the son of Zeus, finds out that he has a sister. This is all i will spoil. If you want to know more read The Lost Hero

This book is one of the best books I have ever read. In the book they find stuff out about them that they could ever imagine. If you love action than this is the book for you.

AWESOME action packed adventure for greek god and demi-god lovers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It tells a story of three best friends who set of to find percy jackson from rick riordens otner book. The main carachter Jason, son of zeus, falls in love with piper, daughter of aphrodite. their best friend leo, son of hephestus, dosent like it. they set out on an adventure!

it's romantic but it has action and it's funny but firt you have to read the series of percy jackson and the olimpians ...sorry if i spelled it wrong

Wow! I wasnt sure about having a second series with all new characters and everything, but I actually really liked it!
