Happy Dancing Over A New Read

 
Have you ever heard of Nikki Maxwell’s happy dance? Well, I am actually doing it right now! Hoo!

Yesterday, a friend of mine broke the news to me that she just purchased the first installment of Rick Riordan’s hit series, The Heroes of Olypmus: The Lost Hero and guess what? She’s loaning it to me. *Another and more intense Hoo!*. Though I was not showing it, I got really moony-eyed when she plucked the book out of her bag. 

1.. 2.. 3.. and the whole book package materialized in my very front.

Even though I had seen it a couple of times before every time we stopped by a book store and briefly catch some reads, it still had not lost its engrossing aura that always sends my system in an uncontrollable state of excitement. The book cover, I can tell, has really sent me an invitation I can never turn down. It gave me hints of a fun, cleverly-plotted and never-will-be-flat story line fermenting.

 I am now super eager to get to know the characters and how Rick has breathed air into their noses. 


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
