Summary from Barnes&Noble.com:
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.
I have heard such amazing things about this series, so I decided to finally start ‘The Lost Hero’ since the last book in the series just came out, and I thought it was a good time to finally see for myself what all the hype is about. I’ve read the ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series’ and enjoyed all of them so much. I love the way Riordan writes and captivates his readers for the whole story. I have to say that I had some pretty high expectations for ‘The Lost Hero’ going into it. And… I gotta say….they were all exceeded! This book was so amazing! I loved all the different characters’ perspectives throughout the story and I found them all very easy to follow. I fell in love with each of them, because they all offered something to the story that made it flow seamlessly and enjoyably. The story was fast paced and I found myself devouring the book even faster despite its larger size (well, compared to the Percy Jackson series). At times I was a little confused with all the information being tossed into the story, but by the end all the scattered pieces came together into a shockingly huge, complicated and perfect puzzle that became shockingly clear piece by piece. I highly recommend this book for anyone that enjoyed the Percy Jackson series and is ready for a more intense, continued story. I gave this book a 4.5 out of 5 stars.
