From #1 New York Times bestselling author Rick Riordan and Newbery Honor winner Kyle Lukoff comes book two set at Camp Half-Blood, the legendary secret sanctuary where demigod kids—the children of Greek gods and mortals—can discover their true potential.
The hardcover edition features a unique stamp of the crest of Aphrodite, plus lush endpapers that display Aphrodite’s Enchanted Closet and a map of Camp Half-Blood in more detail than ever!
As a child of Aphrodite, Harper Rush should be leading a charmed life. He has perfect hair and a winning smile, and even coming out as trans went over like a breeze. But there’s no escaping the memories of the day the cops took his father away and Harper landed in the care of his indifferent grandparents. For Harper, Camp Half-Blood is the chance at a fresh start.
But camp comes with its own problems. His first night, Harper and three other newbies were caught out after curfew. Their rule-breaking made them friends, but Harper can’t shake the feeling that each of them is hiding a secret. Then there are the camper and the satyr who went missing in the forbidden forest known as the Wild Zone.
Worst of all might be the arrival of the goddess Aphrodite. Harper’s mom seems determined to avoid answering his questions. And her latest decree is scarier than any monster hiding in the woods: a Camp Half-Blood dance. Will this week at camp cause more chaos and heartbreak than even demigods can handle? There will be no charming his way out of this one . . .
And don’t miss the first book, The Wild Zone! The Camp Half-Blood series features:
- Amazing encounters with mythical creatures
- Brand-new characters and familiar faces from the Percy Jackson world
- A true sense of belonging in the world’s greatest magical dysfunctional family
- Facts about Greek gods and mythology—because it’s always helpful to know who’s trying to kill you!
