Rick Riordan’s Trials of Apollo

“I will never understand how you mortals tolerate it.You live your whole entire life trapped in a sack of meat, unable to enjoy simple pleasures like changing into a hummingbird or dissolving into pure light.”   -Apollo(Lester)

Rick Riordan recently released his new book The Dark Prophecy in his latest series, The Trials of Apollo on May 2, 2017. Rick Riordan also wrote the Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Heroes of Olympus, Kane Chronicles, 39 Clues, and Magnus Chase Series.

In The Hidden Oracle, Apollo is turned into a mortal named Lester Papadopoulous as a punishment from his father, Zeus. Lester is a sixteen year old who has curly hair and acne. A demigod girl named Meg McCaffery, saves him and she claims Lester’s service. They travel to Camp Half-Blood, where Meg is claimed by Demeter and she and Lester set out on a quest.

(No Spoilers): In The Dark Prophecy, Lester travels across North America with Leo and Calypso in search of Meg, after finding out she was working for her evil stepfather, Nero. Meg has control over him and could potentially order him to do anything, even kill himself. They attempt to win her back from Nero and back onto their side.

In conclusion, this novel, The Trials of Apollo: The Dark Prophecy is definitely worth reading. (And so are all of Rick Riordan’s books)

Golden Daisies: A Short Story

As I picked up a daisy in the meadow and made a necklace out of them, I realized, if I kept this flower, how long would it take to wither? So that is what I did, but the opposite. I brought a bouquet of daisies home, watered it and kept it healthy. Soon it went from a little flower to a ginormous daisy.

I brought these daisies to school one day. I put it beside my desk and watered it regularly like I did at home. I showed my science teacher, who loved daisies. She loved them.

As I was walking home, I saw this lady reading in her chair on her porch. She looked really lonely. So I gave her my daisies. She sounded like she really liked them.

From that day on I visited the lady on her porch. We had a nice talk about life and school. She told me about her life and I told mine. We took walks together in the meadows, where I found my daisies. We made daisy chains and necklaces.

One day, while we were in the meadow, she stopped walking for a moment. I asked her what was wrong, she didn’t answer me. It looked as if the life came right out of her. I almost stayed calm, until she fell backward on her back. I called the ambulance and they came immediately. They took her away on a stretcher and left me sitting in the meadow, alone.

I decided to visit her hospital room. When I walked through the hospital doors, I stopped and thought about what I should say. I reconsidered. So I went back home, grabbed her something special, and went back.

When I walked into her room she was lying in the hospital bed, sleeping. She woke up and told me what happened and how she was doing because I asked her. Apparently, she had a severe heart attack and was limited in her days. She said the doctors told her this would be one of her last days. I then told her about my life and what was going on. When I finished something besides her bed started beeping really loudly. The doctors and nurses rushed me out of the room, but I held back.

“This is for you,” I told her while handing her a bunch of golden daisies.
