The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
October 25-December 31
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.
Review : I really enjoyed the first book of the spin off of percy Jackson. First we meet Jason who has no memory and ends up on a bus where he meets Piper and Leo. Piper is supposed to be his girlfriend but he doesn’t remember her . Then things start happening they get attacked by venti. Jason only know the Roman version of Greek gods . Annabeth shows up with butch Percy is missing . Jason is the son of Zeus he notices a picture in his cabin its Thalia and thats his sister. Leo is son of Hephaestus and Piper is daughter of Aphrodite. Annabeth explains to piper that the mist made her believe Jason and her were together. Piper has a secret her dad was kidnapped by a giant and she has to decive her friends to get him back alive . Leo is trying to get over his past his mother being killed and he is a fire user which is very rare . They go on a quest to save hera Leo fixes this dragon . I enjoyed this book I loved Leo the most he had a rough childhood but still remained happy and cared about his friends . They have issues along the way lots of fights and monsters . They find coach hedge he was a crazy character and very enjoyable to read about . Jason finds his sister after they were almost attacked by wolves . Thalia thought Jason was dead cause thats what their mother told her . See Jason is the Roman son of Zeus and Thalia is the Greek version which is very rare . They save Piper dad and she gives him this potion that her mom gave her to have his recent memories erased. I enjoyed the Roman and Greek aspects of this book . See Jason apparently is from the Roman camp which the Greek camp don’t even know about . After saving hera they are back at camp Jason tells Annabeth that Percy is at the Roman camp and he doesn’t have his memories I can’t wait to read the next one.
Quote :
Jason scratched his head. “You named him Festus? You know that in Latin, ‘festus’ means ‘happy’? You want us to ride off to save the world on Happy the Dragon?”
Leo: Rainbows. Very macho.
Annabeth: Butch is our best equestrian, he gets along great with the pegasi.
Leo: Rainbows, ponies…
Butch: I’m gonna toss you off this chariot.”
I have lightning and wind powers,” Jason reminded him. “Piper can turn beautiful and charm people into giving her BMWs. You’re no more a freak than we are. And, hey, maybe you can fly, too. Like jump off a building and yell ‘Flame on!'”
Leo snorted. “If I did that, you would see a flaming kid falling to his death, and I would be yelling something a little stronger than ‘Flame on!”
Gaea?” Leo shook his head. “Isn’t that Mother Nature? She’s supposed to have, like, flowers in her hair and birds singing around her and dear and rabbits doing her laundry.”
“Leo, that’s Snow White,” Piper said.”
I’m the son of Jupiter, I’m a child of Rome, consul to demigods, praetor of the First Legion. I slew the Trojan sea monster, I toppled the black throne of Kronos, and destroyed Titan Krios with my own hand. And now I’m going to destroy you Porphyrion, and feed you to your own wolves.”
“Wow, dude,” Leo muttered, “You been eating red meat?”
