The Hidden Oracle

Rick Riordan

How do you punish an immortal? By making him human. After angering his father Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. Weak and disoriented, he lands in New York City as a regular teenage boy. Now, without his godly powers, the four-thousand-year-old deity must learn to survive in the modern world until he can somehow find a way to regain Zeus's favor. But Apollo has many enemies-gods, monsters, and mortals who would love to see the former Olympian permanently destroyed. Apollo needs help, and he can think of only one place to go . . . an enclave of modern demigods known as Camp Half-Blood.

The Hidden Oracle review by jotaf

Rick Riordan has done it again with the first book in his new series: The Trials of Apollo - The Hidden Oracle. In this amazing tale, Apollo falls to earth and turns from a god into a mortal. When Apollo finds himself in a dumpster on the streets, he doesn’t know what he has done to deserve it; all he remembers is his father, Zeus, telling him, “Your fault, your punishment.” The next thing he knows is he is a mortal, falling from Olympus.
