About the book
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. "Riordan extends the franchise in a logical direction while maximizing the elements that made the first series so popular: irreverent heroes, plenty of tension-filled moments fighting monsters, and authentic classical mythology mixed in with modern life."-- Horn Book A New York Times best-seller A spin-off of the blockbuster Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, but stands on its own Combines Roman and Greek mythology Told from the points of view of a diverse cast of demigods Memorable characters, witty dialogue, and non-stop action have made this series popular across the globe Perfect for middle grade readers but can be enjoyed by older readers, too Jason has a problem.
