Recommended grades 6-8. Rick Riordan revives Camp Half-Blood, the boot camp for the mortal children of Greek gods featured in the best-selling
Percy Jackson Series. In
The Lost Hero (Hyperion, 2010), Riordan introduces us to three new heroes destined to save the gods, and all of humanity. Lovers of Percy Jackson will equally enjoy this new adventure, even though their favorite hero is missing for the adventure-packed 500+ pages. Rick Riordan has a talent for bringing ancient myths to life- this time he introduces Medea, King Minos, and many other classic Greek characters. Riordan stays true to the mythic characters, while having fun with his young demigods.
Highly recommended, ****.
