The Lost Hero

I read "The Lost Hero" by Rick Riordan. He has also written "The Son of Neptune" which both are in the Percy Jackson series. The theme of the story is that everything in life comes with a consequence. A boy and his friends go on a quest to save a godess. When they save the godess she reveals the truth about the boy.
               
Jason wakes up on a bus holding hands with this girl he doesnt know, Piper, not knowing where he is only that he shouldn't be there. Later that day Jason goes to Camp Half-blood, a camp for half human half god, demi gods. His friend named Leo got claimed by Hephestus, the god of fire and blacksmith. Piper got claimed by Aphrodite the godess of love and beauty. At the campfire its annoucnced that Jason, Piper, and Leo were going to have to go on a quest, to save Hera godess of marriage. Leo finds a bronze dragon and names it Fetus they use the dragon to go on their quest. Piper got turned into gold by King Midas, and turned back human in the river.  Leo's dragon got ruined going over the fence, and met up with the Hunters of Artemis, one of the hunters is his long lost sister, Thailia. "It is you, same scar above your lip and everything." That was the first thing that Thailia said to Jason. Leo has a crush on Thailia, his best friends sister, only to find that Thalia can't date him because Hunter's of Artemis have to swear off dating.
               

I think that people should read this book because it has a great hook and keeps your attention the entire time. It teaches a good lesson, it has a great mix of drama and action. If you like Greek or Roman Mythology then you will enjoy this series.
