Jason wakes up on a school bus with zero memory. Naturally, he assumes he must be some kind of government experiment. His “best friend,” Leo Valdez, immediately takes advantage of the situation by convincing Jason that he owes him twenty bucks. Piper McLean, Jason’s “girlfriend,” is also on the bus. Except surprise—she’s not actually his girlfriend, and she’s mostly just confused and mildly annoyed by Jason’s whole amnesia situation. But before anyone can sort things out, storm spirits attack their school field trip. Their teacher turns into a battle-hardened satyr, Leo sets his jacket on fire, and Jason somehow flies into the air, which is NOT a normal reaction to surprise monster attacks. Fast-forward a bit: Annabeth shows up at Camp Half-Blood looking for Percy Jackson, only to find out that he’s completely missing, much to everyone’s distress. But instead of Percy, she gets Jason, Piper, and Leo—who immediately makes himself at home, flirting with all the dryads and stealing cabin decorations. Then, they get hit with a quest: Hera has been kidnapped, and if they don’t save her, something very bad involving Gaea waking up and crushing humanity will happen. So they hop aboard Festus, Leo’s fire-breathing metal dragon, and go on a chaotic cross-country road trip full of questionable decisions. Leo, naturally, is the only one fully enjoying himself. Piper is stressed about her missing dad, Jason is stressed about his memory, and Leo is just vibing, setting things on fire, making sarcastic comments, and turning every interaction with monsters into a stand-up comedy show. Memorable moments include: Leo naming their metal dragon Festus and treating it like a very problematic pet. Jason realizing he’s actually Roman, not Greek, and promptly having an identity crisis. Piper threatening everyone with her magic charmspeak, especially Leo when he makes too many jokes about her dad. Leo using his fire powers to roast marshmallows during monster attacks because “waste not, want not.” Leo trying to fix Festus approximately 57 times before the dragon explodes. Jason yeeting himself into battle every five minutes like it’s his only personality trait. Leo discovering that he is literally the key to stopping Gaea and immediately regretting all his life choices. Leo eating way too much nacho cheese at a random roadside diner, then throwing up mid-battle. They eventually rescue Hera, Jason gets a few memories back, and they realize that there’s a Roman camp on the other side of the country. Oh, and Percy Jackson? Still missing. Because of course he is. Leo’s final thoughts? “This was the worst field trip of my life.”
