__The Heroes of Olypus: The Lost Hero__ by Rick Riordan Reviewed by Kiana May 11, 2011 (This is the first book of the second series of Percy Jackson and the Olympians!) The genre of this book is: Adventure (as usual), Fables, Folk Tales and Myths. **__Character Problems:__** **JASON** has amnesia and doesn't know who he is. He wakes up one day not knowing who he is, where he is, and whose the girl he's holding hands with on a bus somewhere in lovely, rural Arizona on a field trip. But his amnesia isn't causing this. Its a goddesses. To be specific, Hera. He has a friend named Leo and a "kind-of-girlfriend" name Piper. All he knows is that when Annabeth and Butch picks him, Piper and Leo up to take to Camp Half-Blood, that his purple shirt and tatooes on his arm should not mix with the orange Camp Half-Blood teeshirts, bead necklaces and greek terms. And for some reason, he seems to like the Roman aspects better than the greek and happens to speak latin instead of greek. **PIPER** doesn't like have a famous dad. She doesn't like being made fun of her heritage or not knowing her mom. But she becomes more confused when she arrives at Camp Half-Blood. But a dream that was sent to her three nights before she goes on the field trip with Leo and Jason makes her worried. Her dad is missing and she doesn't know what to do. Betray people and save her dad or destroy her dad and save her friends. Another problem that worries her is Jason. When he wakes up and doesn't even know who he is, or who she is, she's hurt. But she remembers all those times she spent with Jason privately without Leo. Are those memories real, or are they just fake because of the Mist? **LEO** is a fireuser. He also has ADHD and cannot stop fidling with all kinds of things. He tends to build stuff which seems to work. However when he arrives at camo, people in Cabin 9 (Hephaestus cabin) are talking about a curse. Leo then finds a mysterious cabin that leads to clues about the past of Camp Half-Blood. And what's even more scary is the fact that when Leo was little, he drew a boat made of fire and inside the cabin finds the structural supports and stuff for it. His Aunt Tia is also scary enough. But a shocking truth is discovered because Aunt Tia is someone who he does not expect. **Story Problem:** Percy Jackson is missing, Olympus is closed and Hera is also missing. Jason, Leo and Piper are sent on a quest to release Hera and maybe find clues to Percy's dissapearance. However, Jason discoveres a shocking secret. He finds out why Hera took his memories and a little bit about why Percy is missing. "It is an exchange of two leaders to unite to powers that have been separated for too long" as Hera puts it. Does Jason have to do with Percy's dissapearance? And why is Leo's use of fire and why is his picture so important for the second Great Prophecy? READ TO FIND OUT! home Cobra Reviews of Page-Turners
