<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> "Adapted from the novel The Heroes of Olympus, Book One: The Lost Hero"--Copyright page. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b>Jason has a problem</b>. 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. <p/><b>Piper has a secret</b>. 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? <p/><b>Leo has a way with tools</b>. 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. <br> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <b>PRAISE FOR THE LIGHTNING THIEF, THE GRAPHIC NOVEL</b> <p/>Venditti takes the story of the half-blood Percy...and forges an adaptation that does justice not simply to Riordan's story but works perfectly as a graphic novel.
