About this book

Apollo, cast down from Olympus and stuck in the body of a mortal teen named Lester, must track down another ancient oracle before a ruthless new power can seize it.

Fast-paced action, laugh-out-loud humor, and Greek and Roman myths make this a hit with middle school readers. Perfect for fans who enjoy snappy banter, daring quests, and found-family teamwork.

Setting: contemporary United States (largely the Midwest/Indianapolis) blended with Greek and Roman mythic locations
