The Hidden Oracle by Rick Riordan #TrialsofApollo

by 42 Comments

I am excited to introduce THE HIDDEN ORACLE, book one in Rick Riordan’s new THE TRIALS OF APOLLO series. We are long-time Rick Riordan fans here, so when I was asked to host this giveaway in celebration of the new book, I was all in! Disney-Hyperion is providing a prize pack for one winner from my site as well as sending me an identical prize pack. Affiliate links are used. All thoughts are my own.

The Trails of Apollo - The Hidden Oracle by Rock Riordan

There’s nothing better than a new book from Rick Riordan! I have read his previous series right alongside my kids, and I expect to do the same with the Trials of Apollo series, too. The Hidden Oracle hits stores and online as of May 3!

Fans of the Percy Jackson series will LOVE this new series – this time from the perspective of the god, Apollo. The premise of the new series sounds like it will be hilarious, full of adventure, and highly entertaining…but that’s exactly what we would expect from Rick Riordan.

ABOUT THE HIDDEN ORACLE

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 Zeus’s favor.

But Apollo has many enemies—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.

  7. this is hard to answer. i’m going with percy jackson because it’s how we met rick riordan and what began our love for his writing. but there are so many other great characters to know and love!

  14. My favorite character from the books is Percy Jackson. He has a sense of humor, is adventurous, and is always trying to help his friends.

  19. I love mermaids. I think they are so mysterious and beautiful, and I sometimes wish that they were indeed real!

  24. Percy is my favorite character. He is loyal and always tries to help his friends and that is what makes him a good hero and someone you really enjoy reading about

  26. My favorite mythological creature is Medusa! So creepy!!

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  31. My favorite mythological ‘characters’ are all from Egyptian mythology! They fascinate me! I also enjoy Greek mythology the stories are awesome!

  36. I like Percy Jackson the best! My son loves reading books about him because he is so exciting and loves his adventures!

  38. Mmm it’s difficult to pick one, I’m gonna say Percy because he’s the one that started it all, plus he’s awesome. Kind, brave, loyal, funny, just a great chracater-

  41. Sorry, I’m not actually the Rich Riordan fan; my kid is. I think his current favorite is the main character in the Greek mythology series, the one whose father is (Zeus? Ocean God? No idea) and that there have been a couple of movie versions for.
