After learning this Jason's day took a turn for the worst, he is unwillingly flung into a world of Greek mythology: Monsters, Demigods (half mortal, half god), and an occasional Satyr (half man, half goat). Jason and his friends Piper and Leo are whisked away to Camp half-blood, a camp for demigods. They embark on a quest to save Hera goddess of marriage, each with their own aim in the quest. Jason, Leo, and Piper travel across the United states facing unknown enemies, and in their struggle they slowly uncover the horrible secret in the capture of Hera...
I enjoyed this storey greatly, I loved how there was some humor in it and their way of describing the characters made it easy to picture them in real life.
I strongly suggest this book to people who love mythology, and a good adventure. It builds suspense and makes you keep guessing right to the end! The setting is also based on real life events, and pieces of history. I also suggest you read the series to get a fool grasp of the stories main Idea!
