Overview
The Trials of Apollo Series & Camp Half-Blood Confidential Collection brings together five essential paperback reads from Rick Riordan's bestselling world of Greek and Roman mythology. Follow the once-mighty god Apollo as he is cast down to Earth as an awkward mortal teenager, forced to earn back his immortality through dangerous quests, ancient prophecies, and encounters with old enemies and new monsters. Rounding out the set is Camp Half-Blood Confidential, a fan-favorite companion guide packed with insider details about camp life. Perfect for young readers already devoted to Percy Jackson and hungry for more demigod adventure, humor, and heart.

About the Books
This collection gathers the complete Trials of Apollo story arc alongside its beloved companion volume, giving readers a full, satisfying journey through Rick Riordan's expanded Camp Half-Blood universe. It begins with The Hidden Oracle, where the god Apollo is stripped of his powers by Zeus and dropped unceremoniously into modern-day Manhattan as an awkward, out-of-shape teenager named Lester Papadopoulos. Humbled and mortal, he must serve a demigod master and navigate a world he once ruled from Olympus. The Dark Prophecy sends Apollo deep into enemy territory to search for a lost oracle, while The Burning Maze pits him against the fiery trials of a labyrinth beneath the American Southwest and a ruthless Roman emperor. The Tyrant's Tomb raises the stakes further as old friends and new threats collide in a battle to save Camp Jupiter itself. Woven throughout is Riordan's mix of laugh-out-loud humor, fast-paced mythological action, and genuine emotional growth, as the once-vain god slowly learns humility, empathy, and the value of friendship. Camp Half-Blood Confidential rounds out the set as a fun, fact-filled companion, offering an insider's look at camp traditions, cabins, and demigod lore. Together, these five books deliver an immersive reading experience full of clever twists and rich world-building rooted in Greek and Roman myth, rewarding for any young mythology fan wanting to binge an entire story arc in one satisfying set.
