About this ebook

Zeus has punished his son Apollo--god of the sun, music, archery, poetry, and more--by casting him down to earth in the form of a gawky, acne-covered sixteen-year-old mortal named Lester. The only way Apollo can reclaim his rightful place on Mount Olympus is by restoring several Oracles that have gone dark. What is affecting the Oracles, and how can Apollo/Lester do anything about them without his powers? After experiencing a series of dangerous--and frankly, humiliating--trials at Camp Half-Blood, Lester must now leave the relative safety of the demigod training ground and embark on a hair-raising journey across North America. Fortunately, what he lacks in godly graces he's gaining in new friendships--with heroes who will be very familiar to fans of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Heroes of Olympus series. Come along for what promises to be a harrowing, hilarious, and haiku-filled ride. . . .

Ratings and reviews

Im 19 years old and i still get excited to like read these books. And the faxt that it says for ages 9-12 makes me feel terrible about my self but leos gunna be in it so i have too

The Apollo Trails is not my favorite book series by Rick, I could just read half of the Dark Prophecy before I got bored. I do like the characters though, they have the right mix of humor and serious

A well written novel that is brilliantly paced and with as many touching moments as comedic ones. The continued growth of his characters proves the author can enlighten and entertain his audience as he continues to expand upon his beautifully crafted universe. I look forward to the next novel in this series and others with great anticipation as well you should too.
