The Trials of Apollo 2 The Dark Prophecy (P)

Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for Middle Grade & Children's (2017).

Prepare for an extraordinary tale of divine punishment and unexpected heroism. The mighty Zeus has cast down his son Apollo, stripping him of his godly splendor and transforming him into an awkward, pimpled mortal named Lester. To reclaim his place among the gods on Mount Olympus, Apollo must embark on a perilous quest to restore the silenced Oracles. Yet, there's a catch—Apollo, or rather Lester, must accomplish this daunting task without his formidable powers.

Having already faced humiliating trials at Camp Half-Blood, Lester now ventures beyond the safety of the demigod training grounds on a hair-raising odyssey across North America. Despite his loss of divine graces, Lester discovers solace in newfound friendships with legendary heroes well-known to fans of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Heroes of Olympus series. Brace yourself for an exhilarating journey filled with hair-raising challenges, side-splitting humor, and the poetic charm of haikus. Join Apollo, now a mortal in both form and spirit, as he defies the odds to restore the Oracles in this harrowing and hilarious adventure.
