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 ideaexcept 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 allincluding Leorelated 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: Nice read. - Oho! Amazing book. A little boring in the Jason parts, but it's a good read nonetheless. Review: Deserved to be called the sequel of Percy Jackson - A very good one. See first of all the delivery was good the order reached within 24 hours of placing the order. I loved The Percy Jackson series and after finishing the series with 'The Last Olympian' I was just thinking that now what will I do. I literally loved the series and dedicated my 1 month of the winter holidays just reading the books and ordering the next one from either desertcart or Flipkart. This book is very good on its own, and we shall not compare it to the Percy Jackson books, and specially the last Olympian which was just freaking awesome. This book is a little different from PJ books, as it is written in third person unlike Percy Jackson. The Author in this series does not name a chapter like he did in PJ books for e.g in Percy Jackson the chapter would be like ( The Gods Vote How To Kill Us ) - from the Titan's Curse but in Heroes Of Olympus series the chapter is named upon a character like ( Jason ). The book is very well written, if you are reading it right after the Last Olympian you might find it moving slow, but just keep in mind that in that book, things were finishing so the author did not explain a lot whereas in this book he sets up the plot for the heroes of Olympus series. Finally I would just say that it is a must have books, so just give it a shot!

Deserved to be called the sequel of Percy Jackson

Love the series
Can’t wait to dive in the second part of the series! Loved it so much. Would recommend reading Percy Jackson series first for better understanding. Hats off to Rick Riordan for making us fellow readers love Greek Mythology in a fun way!

Deserved to be 5 star
This book is completely epic.There a lot of twists and last minute surprises but if if I could ever meet Rick Riordan I would ask one single question that why are the chapters names with names of characters because in the Percy Jackson series the names of the chapters are not with the names of characters but full sentences like Nico gives happy meals to the dead from Percy Jackson and the Labyrinth.If you excuse that it is really deserving 5 stars from me as there are new heroes and a new quest to complete this always makes it great for me but the main thing that a hero is missing and three half bloods reach camp half blood one of them without memories from a certain period of time.The prophercy continues from the Last Olympian.It has to be fulffiled.I am once again telling you this is great book to read according to me.

Great for children.
My granddaughter loves these books. She’s in grade 6 and she spends hours reading which is great in my opinion as it’s less time looking at Minecraft.

Wann kommt das nächste Buch?!
Ich hab das Buch innerhalb einer Woche gelesen und das trotz Arbeitsstresses und anderen Verpflichtungen, die eigentlich weit oben auf meiner Liste stehen hättem müssen. Dennoch konnte ich das Buch nie für lange aus der Hand legen. Für mich ist es ein sehr gelungener Nachfolger von "Percy Jackson and the Olypians" und wird dem auch gerecht. Man findet bekanntest wieder, wird aber auch mit Neuem konfrontiert, was dem ganzen gerade diese Würze gibt, was es so schwer macht sich davon zu trennen. Aber bevor ich weiter schreibe, sei vor Spoilern gewannt. ;) Ganz besonders klever war es gewesen, gleich in den ersten beiden Kapiteln verlauten zu lassen, dass Percy Jackson einfach so verschwunden ist. Man WILL wissen, wo er hin ist, was mit ihm passiert ist und man spinnt sich beständig seine eigenen Theorien zurecht - und kommt bis zum Schluss doch nicht auf die Antwort. Und dann wird man am Ende mit einem Cliff hängen gelassen bei dem man sich denkt: Das kann jetzt nicht wahr sein!!! Und deswegen mag ich das Buch so sehr. Aber nicht nur deswegen... Doch mal schön der Reihe nach. Die neuen Charas waren mir sehr sympathisch, auch wenn Jason so eine negative Denkweise hat.^^° Das er Thalias Bruder ist fand ich am Anfange etwas merkwürdig - wirkte leicht aus dem Hut gezaubert, aber es fügte sich dann ein und zum Glück ist Thalia nicht die Schwester, die ihrem Bruder nun immer hinterher läuft oder groß Tränen vergießt. Sie weiß schon, dass er sein Ding macht. Piper - man hat ihre eigene charakterliche Entwicklung gesehen, von Unsicher und Unscheinbar wurde sie zu einer Führungsperson, die sich gegen andere auflehnt und für ihre Meinung eintritt. Und das sie ein Kind von Aphrodite ist, zeigt glaube ich, dass die Göttin wirklich mehr drauf hat, als nur gebrochene Herzen zu verursachen. -.^ Obwohl ich hoffe, dass Pipers Herz nicht durch Jason gebrochen wird. o.O Selbst, wenn er eine andere Freundin hatte, finde ich dennoch dass die beiden ein sehr schönes Pärchen abgeben - wenn sie es beide überleben. Das ist ja immer so eine Sache. Leo - sein aufgesetzer Humor hat mich genervt, aber am Ende hin hat es sich gelegt.^^ Das er dann Hausvorstand wird, war logisch und er hat sich selbst etwas bewiesen, was glaube ich noch wichtiger war. Die Unterscheidung zwischen römischen und griechischen Göttern, hat mich am Anfang verwirrt, handelt es sich doch um ein und die selben Personen. Gleichzeitig eröffnet das natürlich eine Fülle von Millionen neuen Möglichkeiten. Während des lesens wuchs der Verdacht natürlich, dass die römischen Götter ihren Nachwuchs wo anders aufziehen und das hat sich ja dann bestätigt. Tja und nun bleiben am Ende zwei große Fragen: 1. Wie ist es Percy ergangen? 2. Welche Halbgötter sind noch an der Prophezeiung beteiligt? Drei haben wir schon, aber der Rest - von welchem Gott stammen sie ab? Deswegen kann ich es schon kaum mehr abwarten, endlich nächstes Jahr hier um die Zeit zu sitzen und "The Son of Neptune" gelesen zu haben... es wird großartig, davon bin ich überzeugt. Aber erst einaml sollte man sich dieses Buch nicht entgehen lassen! Es lohnt sich jede Seite!

Spolier free review
This is the first book in Rick Riordan’s The Heroes Of Olympus series. This series is the spin off series to the Percy Jackson and The Olympians series. I have not read all of the previous series, with only the first book having being read. I will be going back a reading that series once I have finished with this one. I wondered if having skipped the Percy Jackson series would effect my enjoyment of this book, with things like references or characters. But my fears were unfounded this book provides enough background information for it to stand on its own. The book focuses on three new children who just discovered their demi-god heritage and there first quest in the world. I liked the development of the three new demi-gods and they learnt about the ‘other’ world and there own powers. Each of them are unique and fun to read about. I liked the length and the pacing in this book. There is enough story to give a nice amount environment setting while not waffling and slowing the story down. The main story was interesting, which I won’t go into here so as to not spoil it for others. There is not much in this book that I can think of as disliking. In fact after sitting here for a few minutes and coming up empty for something to say I didn't like, the only thing I could think of was having to wait for the next book in the series to arrive. I really enjoyed this first book. Which kind of surprised me considering its target audience. The three main characters were interesting and diverse leading to you connecting with them. The story was well paced, with nothing that felt it was added just to increase the word count. Overall this is a very nice book. I have now placed my order for all of the other books in the series. Lets hope they live up to my expectations after having read thus one. I would rate this book a 9 out of 10.
