Heroes of Olympus: The Lost Hero Award-winning author by Rick Riordan (author)

Author/Illustrator

Rick Riordan

Rick Riordan is a teacher and a writer, and has won many awards for his mystery novels for adults. He says that the idea for Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief first came to him while he was teaching Greek mythology at middle school in San Francisco. But rumour has it that Camp Half Blood actually exists, and Rick spends his summers there recording the adventures of young demigods. Some believe that, to avoid a mass panic among the mortal population, he was forced to swear on the River Styx to present Percy Jackson’s story as fiction. Rick lives in Texas (apart from his summers on Half Blood Hill) with his wife and two sons.

   This book is epic! It literally ends in a cliffhanger (Percy and Annabeth holding a small ledge the size of a bookshelf). Makes you wait for the next book and die of suspense!!

    Annabeth is mortified! Percy has dissapeared and in his place is this jason along with piper and leo! But she has bigger problems to deal with- Gaia is awakening and she has captured Hera, the queen of the gods. I would recommend this book to older readers from 10-16

    I really enjoy Rick Riordan`s books. His writing draws you in. There is lots of action and adventure in this book. Rick has cleverly wived in Percy Jacksons world with Jasons. Probaly best to read Percy Jackson series first but not compusary. Recomended read!
