Jason has a problem. He doesn’t remember anything before waking up on a school bus holding hands with a girl. Apparently, she’s his girlfriend Piper, his best friend is a kid named Leo, and they’re all students in the Wilderness School, a boarding school for “bad kids.” What he did to end up here, Jason has no idea—except that everything seems very wrong.

Leo has a way with tools. His new cabin at Camp Half-Blood is filled with them. Seriously, the place beats the 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.

Review of 'The Lost Hero' on 'Storygraph'

3 stars

There was a big gap between when I actually started this book and finishing it. I kind of abandoned it over the holidays. By the time I had recovered from said holidays and realized I haven't finished this book I was pretty close to the end. The end definitely grabbed me though and things were clicking into place about the story even though it had been over a month since I had read most of it. If you liked the Percy Jackson series, this is worth reading.
