Hidden Oracle, The-Trials of Apollo, Book One
by Riordan, Rick
The god Apollo has a major problem: his father, Zeus, has kicked him out of Olympus. He lands in a New York City dumpster, stripped of his immortality and trapped in the body of a pimply, awkward sixteen-year-old mortal named Lester Papadopoulos. To get back into his father's good graces, he must navigate the perils of Camp Half-Blood and complete a series of dangerous quests. The experience is defined by Apollo's hilariously inflated ego clashing with his pathetic human reality. It is fast-paced, snarky, and surprisingly heartfelt as the former deity learns what it actually means to be human. If you enjoy character-driven humor, sharp-tongued protagonists who have to eat a slice of humble pie, and high-stakes adventures where the hero is his own worst enemy, this is a perfect match.
