The Lost Hero
By Rick Riordan







      The Lost Hero, by Rick Riordan, is about this boy named Jason who wakes up in a bus and doesn't remember anything about himself. Apparently, he goes to a wilderness school, a school for bad kids. He is best friend with Leo, who is great with machines and tools, and has a girlfriend named Piper, who has a big secret to hide. The problem is that he doesn't remember anything. Jason and his friends are headed to a field trip to The Grand Canyon with other students and their coach, who is strict and annoying. When the three friends go to The Grand Canyon, trouble happens! A storm arrives! Not just any storm, a big storm! A storm which has storm spirits! Things get bad when they find out that their coach is actually a satyr (a.k.a. a faun). The storm spirits capture him leaving Jason, Piper, and Leo in shock. Then, a girl named Annabeth appears whose boyfriend,Percy Jackson, has been missing. Annabeth takes Jason Piper, and Leo to a camp called Camp Half-Blood. There Jason, Piper, and Leo, are assigned a cabin in which what Greek god they are related to. The three friends later find out that they have to rescue Hera , Zeus' wife, who has been captured and needs to be rescued before the winter solstice. Jason,Piper,and Leo have to go on a quest to find the goddess. They  find new places,secrets,people, and find out which god they are related to.
              As I was reading the book,I came across a theme. The theme was to always have friends with you when trouble comes. On pages 1-8, Leo and Piper care about Jason losing his memory. Also, on pages 465-466,Jason gets hurt by the giant,and Piper is there to comfort him. Another, is on pages 475-479,after Piper finds her dad, and gets emotional and Jason comforts her. That is why I chose that theme.
                        I would recommend this book to 7th graders.  The reason why is because this book is full of adventure and surprise. It also has Greek mythology, which lots of people love. This book is full of amazing characters and great details. That is why I would recommend this book to others.
