Trials of Apollo series.
As punishment, Zeus makes the god Apollo an acne- and flab-afflicted mortal sixteen-year-old, bound to serve twelve-year-old Meg, the awkward demigod daughter of Demeter. Apollo arrives at Camp Half-Blood an odd mix of conceited and pathetic. His troubles continue as campers go missing and the Oracle is offline. This laugh-out-loud funny, adventure-hefty series-opener stars familiar characters from Riordan's beloved modern myth-based world.
