About the Book
The god Apollo is cast down to earth by Zeus and must survive as a pimpled, powerless sixteen-year-old mortal named Lester, relying on a demigod named Meg to help him find his way back to Olympus and discover why the Oracles have gone silent. The first Trials of Apollo novel is funnier and more self-aware than previous series, with Apollo's self-centered narration providing fresh comedic perspective on the familiar world.
