There are very few book series that make my kids literallyย fight overย who gets to read a book first.

But, friends, Percy Jackson will do it.

Actually, it’s Rick Riordan who will do it.

And the super-exciting news is that for all of theย Rick Riordan fans out there, his new book, The Trials of Apollo: The Hidden Oracle, is here!

percy jackson fans: The Trials of Apollo is here! #TrialsofApollo

I’m thrilled to be working with Disney-Hyperion to be sharing this news and to actually give away a copy of this book along with a $50 Visa gift card.

Woo-hoooo!

The Trials of Apollo series offersย a totally new perspective to Riordan’s books. ย And I love it.

Here’s the skinny. . ย .

Percy Jackson Fans — The Trials of Apollo is here!

Most of us know that Rick Riordan’s books are written about the interaction between humans, demi-gods, and gods.

We follow Percy Jackson’s adventures with Greek gods in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.

We follow Magnus Chase and his adventures with Norse gods in the Gods of Asgard series.

We follow Carter and Sadie Kane and their adventures with Egyptian gods in the Kane Chronicles.

We follow Jason Grace, Piper McLean, and Leo Valdez and their adventures with Roman gods in the Heroes of Olympus series.

We get the point of view of humans and demi-gods but never get into the heads of the infamous gods.

The Trials of Apollo series lets us do just that.

Check out the awesome trailer (and definitely let your Riordan fans see it, too!)

 

Quickie summary:

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 Zeusโ€™s favor.

But Apollo has many enemiesโ€”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 cool thing is that The Hidden Oracle is being released with five retail-specific editions that all hit shelves on May 3rd.

percy jackson fans: The Trials of Apollo is here! | teachmama.com

 

Each edition includes a unique insert that you can get exclusively from that retailer.ย How fun is that?!

  1. Barnes & Noble Exclusive Edition includes a Camp Half-Blood letter from Apollo to Zeus!
  2. Target Exclusive Edition includes an illustrated map of Apolloโ€™s Trials at Camp Half-Blood
  3. Books-a-Million Exclusive Edition includes an Apollo Bumper Sticker (โ€œIโ€™d Rather be Driving by Sun Chariotโ€)
  4. Walmart Exclusive Edition includes a 2-sided bookmark with character art of Apollo and his mortal counterpart, Lester.
  5. Costco Exclusive Edition includes an illustrated poster depicting the โ€œPlague of Secretsโ€ scene from The Hidden Oracle
