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
