ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

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.

Piper has a secret. Her father has been missing for three days, and her vivid nightmares reveal that he's in terrible danger. Now her boyfriend doesn't recognize her, and when a freak storm and strange creatures attack during a school field trip, she, Jason, and Leo are whisked away to someplace called Camp Half-Blood. What is going on?

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

Rick Riordan, the best-selling author of the Percy Jackson series, pumps up the action and suspense in The Lost Hero, the first book in The Heroes of Olympus series. Fans of demi-gods, prophesies, and quests will be left breathless--and panting in anticipation for Book Two. The accessible and dramatic cover art by graphic novelist Nilah Magruder will attract a new generation of readers.

Rick Riordan es, sin duda, uno de los autores más reconocidos de la literatura juvenil. Durante varios ańos fue profesor de secundaria, pero el fulgurante éxito de la serie Percy Jackson y los dioses del Olimpo hizo que se decidiera por la escritura. Su trilogía Las crónicas de Kane se colocó en el primer puesto de la lista de los libros más vendidos del New York Times. Posteriormente cosechó otro éxito internacional con los cinco tomos de la serie Los héroes del Olimpo. Ha sido reconocido como el Autor del Ańo en los premios Children's Choice Book.
