The Son of Neptune

Synopsis

The Son of Neptuneby: Rick Riordan

On the other side of the country from Camp Half Blood is a similar respite for Roman demi-gods called Camp Jupiter. The camp is thrown into turmoil when a new demi-god arrives who appears to be the son of Neptune, but has no memory of who he is or where he came from. All he knows is that monsters have chased him for days that, after being destroyed, have been coming back to life faster than usual. It turns out that giants working for the earth goddess Gaea, who wants to weaken the barriers between life and death so she can take over the world, have captured Thantos, the god of death. Now Camp Jupiter's latest arrival and two new friends, Hazel and Frank, have just four days to find Thantos and thwart Gaea's plan or Camp Jupiter, and life as we know it, will be destroyed.

Text to Self

This book related to me because it shoes the importance of friendship and in life I take friendship very seriously. I believe that friendship is important because friends are always there for you even if you’re feeling down. I know that I didn’t have friends I definitely wouldn’t be where I am today.

Text to Text

This book reminded me of the book Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. It reminds me of this book because of the characters in the book. Percy Jackson is the main in both books and both books involve Greek/Roman Mythology. The book doesn’t have the same story line but follows most of the steps in plot resolution.

Text to World

This book connects to the world with the theme teamwork. In our world today nobody listens to just one person, but if there were a group that came together to support the same cause, people would then listen. In the book Percy and his friends come together with teamwork in order to complete there mission.
