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.

I agree Pupsrule11

Love this book!!!!!!!! The second one is even better.

This story is based on three characters, Jason, Piper and Leo, who found out they were demigods and were told to go on a quest to save Hera. I loved this book. The story is addicting, moving and thrilling all at the same time. The characters were special and had their own pasts and characteristics, which made me want to know more about them. When I read the story, I really wanted to be one of the characters and meet the challenges that they went through, because the story made me feel as if I was in it too, just that the story didn’t mention my name. I loved the book really much, and I loved every page and every part in “The Lost Hero”. I would totally recommend “The Lost Hero” to teens that like adventure or fiction stories.

No spoilers plz...

I read the Son of Neptune, The Mark of Athena, The House of Hades and the Blood of Olympus. All of these books are so addicting that once I started reading, I could not stop. I cannot find the book after the Blood of Olympus. I would totally recommend this book to every single reader in the world! These books is filled with so much suspense that I cannot stop reading this series.

The lost hero Do you want an action packed Fantasy adventure series? Do you want to read about ancient times back when Greek and Rome stood strong? Well here's a book, it's called the lost hero by Rick Riordan! The lost hero contains all that and more, it has a kid named Jason as the protagonist who has had his memory erased, also he meets many antagonists that change over time. One major conflict is when Jason and his friends face something that takes more than friendship to get over
