Jason woke up on a bus going
to the Grand Canyon that he doesn’t remember getting on, with a school he
doesn’t recall ever going to. In fact, he doesn’t remember anything about
himself. The only thing he does know is a lot about Roman Mythology, that two
kids he’s by, Piper and Leo, seem to know him, that he’s a half-blood, and that
he’s in great danger. After some “venti” creatures attack them at the site of
the field trip and reinforcements show up in the form of a satyr coach and
greek half-bloods, Jason knows something is definitely up, especially when he’s
not surprised by the interruptions like Piper and Leo are and knows how to
fight. When they group arrives at Camp Half-Blood, things only get weirder when
Hera appears in a vision to everyone and demands they come save her. Who is
Jason? What kind of game has Hera started? Can the trio save her?
A great adaptation of Rick
Riordan’s series. The illustrations are rich, well-done, and vivid. The text is
close to the original book. Together, the two do a great job of transitioning
between the different scenes in the story. Readers who like Rick Riordan,
graphic novels, and mythology adventures will enjoy reading this book. EL. MS.
