By making him human. 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.

Especificaciones del producto
Escrito por Rick Riordan
Rick Riordan (San Antonio, Texas, 1964) es el autor de la exitosa serie de novelas de misterio protagonizadas por el detective Jackson Tres Navarre, galardonada con los más prestigiosos premios en su género. Igualmente exitosos han sido los libros sobre Percy Jackson, el niño que un día descubre que es hijo de un dios de la Antigüedad y tiene una importantísima misión que cumplir. Esta serie, que empezó siendo un cuento para leer a su hijo antes de acostarlo, está basada en sus experiencias como profesor de mitología de niños con dificultades de aprendizaje. Los dos primeros títulos han sido llevados al cine por Chris Columbus, director de las dos primeras entregas de «Harry Potter».
