Why you should read this book
You should read this book because it is very exciting and gripping, and it is full of humour. They are the NY Times number one best selling series, and this is school library journal’s comment about this series -“with electrifying moments chasing each other like heartbeats” and I think so too!

How the book got its name:
During the battle, most of the demigods think they would loose and the Titans will win. They think all the Olympians would be destroyed, and the only Olympian who would be left would be Hestia, goddess of the hearth. She would be the only thing left. Home. Hearth. She would be the last Olympian.
