I read the book The Lost Hero written by Rick Riordan. There are three main charectors. Their names are Jason (son of Zues), Piper (daughter of Aphrodite), and Leo (son of Hephaetus). Throught the book these characters are trying to free Hera (godess of marriage) who is locked up in a jail. Throught their quest they battle cyclops, venti (evil storm spirites), and Gaea. Jason is trying to cope with memory loss. While Piper is trying to seperate dream from reality. She isn't sure anything is real, thanks to the mist. The mist wipes out all memory and replaces it with dreams. In the end they free Hera and they will have to defeat Porphyrion another day.
One of the main themes of the book is to be able to have eachothers backs. The first example of this theme is shown when Piper and Leo have to free Hera from the cage but Jason has to have their back while fighting Pophyrion. The second example is when Jason and Leo are under a spell and they have to be able to trust Piper while she breaks the spell. The final example of the theme is shown when Leo has to get Piper free of the cyclops that tied her to the tracks. To get her free Leo hotwired a crane and fought all three cyclops with little help from Jason who was knocked out cold. So you need to be able to trust others around you.
I would recommend this book to other 7th grade readers because it's a great book. The suspense is filled up all the way to the end. There is a sequel called The Son if Neptune. Some other books that Rick wrote were the Percy Jackson series, and the Kane Cronical series. I would love to recommend this book to other people.
