The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan

This is the second book in the series of The Heroes of Olympus. Percy is back in action and we finally know what happened to him, this time he is at Camp Jupiter. Percy has a wicked case of amnesia and doesn’t understand why everyone keeps calling him the son of Neptune. He befriends Hazel, who is back from the dead and Frank, who doesn’t know who his Godly father is. The three embark on a dangerous quest to Alaska to free “Thanatos” (Death).

The book is exciting and full of adventure. As always Rick weaves life lessons, historical studies and geographical information as he keeps you glued to the story. Now I am learning about the Roman Gods.

These can be found on Rick Riordan’s web page.
