The Lost Hero

By: Rick Riordan

Narrated by: Sean Welsh Brown, Rainy Fields, Avi Roque

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.

"Riordan extends the franchise in a logical direction while maximizing the elements that made the first series so popular: irreverent heroes, plenty of tension-filled moments fighting monsters, and authentic classical mythology mixed in with modern life."—Horn Book

A New York Times best-seller

A spin-off of the blockbuster Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, but stands on its own

Combines Roman and Greek mythology

Told from the points of view of a diverse cast of demigods

Memorable characters, witty dialogue, and non-stop action have made this series popular across the globe

Perfect for middle grade listeners but can be enjoyed by older listeners, too

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.

Fans of demigods, prophecies, and quests will be left breathless—and panting for Book Two.

Jeez Piper

Pro tip: If you speed up Pipers portion, she doesnt sound as much like an 8th grader reading in front of the class for the first time

Nice!

Loved it! Narrators weren’t amazing but it’s all good. Really fast-paced. Cool action scenes. Good character development. Thank you Mr. Riordan!

Pretty good!

I think that the book was very good and well written; but the voice for Piper wasn’t the best. The person who voiced Piper had a very squeaky, high pitched voice. The voices for Jason, and Leo however were good!

Thee narrators wasn't great

The three narrators may have seemd like a good idea, but I really disliked it. I almost switched to reading the book instead. the story was still good, but I was relieved when I got to the last two chapters when I knew I was done with the narrators switching.

The Lost Hero

I loved it!! the expense was electrifying. I love listening while I work. excellent narrators.
