Camp Half-Blood: The Rite of Aphrodite

Camp Half-Blood: The Rite of Aphrodite Synopsis

Welcome to Camp Half-Blood! The legendary secret sanctuary where demigod kids - the children of Greek gods and mortals - can discover their true potential.

As a child of Aphrodite, Harper Rush should be leading a charmed life. He has perfect hair and a winning smile, and he is finally living as the boy he was always supposed to be. But there's no escaping the memories of the day the cops took Harper's father away and he landed in the care of his grandparents. For Harper, Camp Half-Blood is the chance at a fresh start.

But camp comes with its own problems. His first night, Harper and three other newbies were caught out after curfew. Their rule-breaking made them friends, but Harper can't shake the feeling that each of them is hiding a secret. Then there are the camper and satyr who went missing in the forbidden forest known as the Wild Zone.

Worst of all might be the arrival of the goddess of Aphrodite. Harper's mom seems determined to avoid answering his questions. And her latest decree is scarier than any monster hiding in the woods: a Camp Half-Blood dance. Will this week at camp cause more chaos and heartbreak than even demigods can handle? There will be no charming his way out of this one . . .
