Percy Jackson and the Singer of Apollo

by Rick Riordan

he short story comes to us from Guys Read: Other Worlds, the fourth collection of short stories in the Guys Read series, which is aimed at tween boys. It features 10 stories by 10 different authors, the first of which is none other than Rick Riordan! Using his tell-tale humor, Percy Jackson narrates the short story that tells us about the time when he was celebrating Grover’s birthday and Apollo turned up and asked him for a “little” favor. That little favor turned into a big problem when Apollo sent Percy out to fetch his fourth celedon, who went rogue and ran off to the big city to try her hand at fame, fortune, and a solo career.
