Fans of Percy Jackson and the Olympians will love this new series by Rick Riordan - The Heroes of Olympus. In Book 1, The Lost Hero, 3 of the 7 heroes prophesied to save the world have come together to begin their quest. The book opens at the new Skybridge at the Grand Canyon. Jason has no memory. Piper's dad, a famous movie star and a Cherokee, has been kidnapped and she is threatened with his death if she does not co-operate with the kidnappers. Leo is Jason's best friend at the school for "bad kids" that sponsored the trip. After the Skybridge clash, the kids are whisked away to Camp Halfblood claimed by their godly parents, discover their powers, and are willing to sacrifice all for their friends and the greater good. The reader is reunited with characters from the Percy Jackson books and are once again regaled with knowledge of Greek and Roman mythology. We are also taken on a tour of the U.S. as the demi-gods battle the forces of evil. We meet a mechanical dragon and learn that Jack London was a demi-god!? Percy Jackson is missing. Will he be found?
