One (1) winner receives The Trials of Apollo #4, The Tyrant’s Tomb book plus branded goodies: a puzzle, a pencil, and Camp Jupiter t-shirt! We are excited to offer a giveaway for The Trials of Apollo: The Tyrants Tomb prize pack. The book keeps you entertained, engaged and leaves you wanting even more! It is honestly hard to find authors that can do that with a series, and I am so glad that Mr. There is a reason Rick Riordan’s last 20 books have all debuted at #1 on the NEW-YORK TIMES best-sellers list. You also get some really great villains and a lot of suspense as well as humor and love. There is a lot of diversity in the books so everyone can relate to someone in the stories. Riordan incorporates favorite characters from previous stories so it ties them together better. He really struggles with not having his Godly powers and his narrative about his disappointing reality is hilarious. I have very much enjoyed this series, and I am sure it is because it is told from Apollo’s point of view. The Trials of Apollo: The Tyrants Tomb by Rick Riordan is another great book to add to our collection. The first three books were great and we have been waiting for book 4 to come out. My kids and I are fans of Percy Jackson and The Heroes of Olympus so we naturally wanted to read The Trials of Apollo. This post is in partnership with the Disney Book Group. ![]()
