My summary of the book

Jason wakes up to find himself in a school bus full of kids. The people next to him are Leo Valdez and Piper Mclean, his best friends whom he can’t remember. Leo explains that they attended a school for bad kids called Wilderness School. Jason and the class went to the Grand Canyon, where the trouble started. Storm spirits came and tried to kill them. Fortunately, Annabeth whisks Piper, Leo, and Jason to camp half-blood. Jason must find a way to get his memories back before terrible things take over the world.

My thoughts

I had already read Percy Jackson and the Olympians and enjoyed it immensely. Not seeing Percy, the star in the book, was a change. It was good to see the old characters in the books and some new ones. I loved Piper best because I think she is courageous, and her powers were amazing to behold. Watch out, monsters, because the demigods will set sail in their new adventures.

My rating

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.
