The Lost Hero
Author: Rick Riordan
Genre: Fantasy
Original Publication date: October 2010
Book Description (from Good Reads):
Jason has a problem. He doesn't remember anything before waking up on a school bus holding hands with a girl. Apparently he has a girlfriend named Piper. His best friend is a kid named Leo, and they're all students in the Wilderness School, a boarding school for "bad kids", as Leo puts it. What he did to end up here, Jason has no idea—except that everything seems very wrong.
Piper has a secret.
Her father, a famous actor, 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.
Thoughts:
So we have a group of teens who suddenly are thrown into a huge mess that can end the world but they have to walk through a lot of secrets and whose life could become simpler if the Gods and the adults in their life were more honest with them. That part is annoying. But the teens themselves are very likable and relatable.
The overall story is interesting and it pulls you in.
The people coming together, building trust among friends and the friendship is always I love in Rick Riordan's stories.
