Son of Neptune- Rick Riordan

          Rick Riordan has a myriad of series out and one of his best selling is Percy Jackson and The Olympians this is about a boy named Percy Jackson that is a demigod (half mortal, half god) he goes to a magical camp named Camp Half Blood, there he meets other people like him and he is accepted there. Camp Half Blood is based off of Greek Mythology but there is a Roman side to all of this, all Greek gods have a Roman side where they have different names and don't remember really anything from their Greek side when in Roman form. For Example: Ares is Mars, Hades is Pluto, Zeus is Jupiter, and Poseidon is Neptune, Percy had a best friend who is a Satyr named Grover, a girlfriend named Annabeth (Daughter of Athena) and a half brother who is a Cyclopes named Tyson. Percy supposedly went off on a quest and when he woke up he didn't know anything at all he barely even knew his own name! Little did he know that the goddess Hera had temporarily wiped his memory clean because he had a Roman quest to do. 

          In this book Frank Zhang, Hazel Levesque and Percy Jackson are on a Roman quest for Camp Jupiter's safety and the world. Thanatos who is basically Death is chained and now people 1. Can't die and 2. If they were once dead are walking the Earth again. In this book each character has special traits that helps them at convenient times and they each have a back story that makes the plot of the story more complicated and full of surprises. I wondered why Rick Riordan did this but as I read more and more of the book the plot became more and more clear. There were twists and turns and secrets were revealed but it all fits together into a large puzzle. 

         I think that there is going to be a moral to this story, so far Percy is different in a way from all of the people at Camp Jupiter because he is on the Greek side. He has a different "family" but here since Percy 1. Can't remember anything and 2. The campers there gave him a house and food he considers himself now to be part of two families. He is putting his life on the line for the Camp's safety in his quest and I predict that the moral is going to be something along the lines of stick with your friends to the end or Don't let rivalries get in the way of the important things.
