"The Lost Hero" by Rick Riordan, due in the Fall of 2010
Prolific San Antonio author Rick Riordan has a new series coming out and he took the time to talk about it recently with the New York Times. The series, starting with The Lost Hero, is set in the same world as his hugely popular Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. Readers get to return to Camp Half-Blood in the new series The Heroes of Olympus that is separate from his recently released book, The Red Pyramid, the first of the Kane Chronicles. The Lost Hero is scheduled for release in October.
While Riordan isn’t giving away any spoilers, he does reveal that the series will be five books and that the characters from the Percy Jackson books will make appearances. The author is on a six-month schedule with his books, The Heroes of Olympus in the Fall and The Kane Chronicles in the Spring.

I know several eight-year-olds who will be anxiously awaiting this book!
