In "The Lost Hero" by Rick Riordan, Leo and Piper free Hera by using the giant Alcyoneus' weakness against him. Alcyoneus was invincible as long as he was within his homeland, but the heroes tricked him into leaving his territory, causing him to weaken and allowing them to defeat him. With Alcyoneus gone, Hera was freed from her captivity.
to get home; the journey is for odysseus and his men to get back home to Ithaca after the Trojan war
By the winter solstice, which is only four days away from when Jason, Piper, and Leo got there great prophecy.
I have 'The Lost Hero' and it is one of the best books I've ever read. The book is about Jason Grace, son of Zeus. He wakes up and doesn't remember anything. His two friends Piper, daughter of Aphrodite and Leo, son of Hephaustus. He finds out that something really bad and evil is rising. Hera is caged somewhere until a beast is fully awaken. They also find out that a demigod named Percy Jackson is missing. Jason, Leo, and Piper have to go on a quest to free Hera and stop what is rising. By the way, Thalia is Jason's sister
The turning point of the book is when they find out where Percy Jackson (Protagonist of the Percy Jackson and the Olympiansseries) was sent to by Hera (queen of the heavens aka wife of Zeus)
Piper McLean, age 15, is a daughter of Aphrodite and a Cherokee movie star. Leo Valdez, age 15, is a son of Hephaestus. Jason Grace, possibly the same age, is a son of Zeus (Roman equivalent: Jupiter). He is the younger brother of Thalia Grace.
I would first check your local library or school library so as to read "The Lost Hero" for 'free'.
Jason belongs to a Roman camp, but Piper and Leo belong to a Greek camp. The solution is that even if Jason doesn't belong to Camp Half-Blood, he should still go on the quest to free Juno, or Hera.
