The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan
Well we are back at Camp Half-Blood, but Percy is missing! Jason is the leader of the lastest quest. Where did he come from, who is his father.
Many of the surprises in this book are not very surprising, but the quest is a nice ride with a new twist. Plus, for hero fans, it is sets up a new series with many of the things that are familiar from the Percy Jackson series.
One question that might keep me reading this series is to find out what happened to Percy.
Happy reading!
