Book of Interest: The Wild Zone

There are times when I wonder what might be happening at Camp Half-Blood while Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase and Grover were off on a quest. And I guess now I'll find out The Wild Zone by Rick Riordan and Annabelle Oh. This is the first book in the series (I wonder how many there will be?) and it looks like the story is going to just as chaotic as the main stories are. Clarisse La Rue isn't one of my favorite characters and with her leaving a group of new campers in a forbidden area to make their way back to camp. I do hope there's a good reason for this and not her just being a jerk. I guess I'll see when I read this.

Book: The Wild Zone (Camp Half-Blood book #1) by Rick Riordan and Annabelle Oh

Description:

Ever wonder what goes on at Camp Half-Blood in between Percy Jackson's legendary quests? Find out in the start of a new series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Rick Riordan and an all-star team of coauthors!

In book one, five newbie demigods dare to enter Camp Half-Blood's forbidden Wild Zone, unleashing ancient curses, bloodthirsty monsters—and a fight to survive.

Katie Kim may be a newcomer to Camp Half-Blood, but even she knows they weren't supposed to be running through the Wild Zone—the forest is off-limits to campers and staff. Why, then, did Clarisse, head counselor of the Ares cabin, take her and four other newbies there in the dark of night and tell them to race back to camp by morning?

Clarisse's threat was scary enough, but when Katie's half-brother Grant goes missing, his disappearance sparks the arrival of vicious monsters and a mysterious curse. It's up to Katie and the three remaining newbies—the Wild Omada—to brave the Wild Zone again and uncover its dark and deadly secrets.
