The Hidden Oracle!

HIDDEN ORACLE Final cover


Thanks to everyone who came to our launch event in Boston on Tuesday, May 3! We had a sold-out crowd and I loved hearing your questions and sharing your enthusiasm. And thanks to everyone on social media who has already responded to the new series with such love and appreciation. I’ve got the best readers in the world! It’s always a relief to me when I hear that I met your expectations in a new volume.


If you haven’t picked up your copy of The Hidden Oracle yet, it is now available anywhere books are sold in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. I’m not sure about the other markets. I don’t get that info. But if it’s not yet available where you live, I’m sure the publishers are working hard to get it into your hands as soon as possible!


And if you missed the usual “Coming in 2017” at the end of The Hidden Oracle, I did too! Here is the title of book two, which will be here next October:


Trials of Apollo BOOK 2 type cover 2P


Also the Rick Riordan website has just had a facelift. Check it out and let me know what you think!

Kang Ying She I think I am one of the oldest in class because I have birthday pretty early.


message 652: by Kang Ying (new)

Kang Ying She My First day at school I hope the teacher will not ask what we did I did in the summer holiday to all in my class. If I said that I was home and read 11 books my class mates would say that I didn't have any life.

I am a little happy because we are going to have 2 more girls in my class.

message 672: by Zara (new)

Zara Yeah driving would be good for me I can't exactly walk to the shops where I live


message 673: by Kang Ying (new)

Kang Ying She Actually We have to learn how to drive with a teacher before we can get the linens for driving.


message 674: by Kang Ying (new)

Kang Ying She I Tried to drive once with my dad but it was pretty scary


message 675: by Evelin (new)

Evelin I don't think I want to drive in future.


message 676: by Val (new)

Val Hdz I want to drive. I could go anywhere


message 677: by Zara (new)

Zara I want to drive so I don't have to go on aeroplanes. I fly to another state in the holidays to see my dad but I HATE aeroplanes!!! And airports!!! I really would prefer the 10 hour drive.


message 678: by Kang Ying (new)

Kang Ying She I Hate to fly too. It Is actually 2-3 years ago since I have traveled to China.


message 679: by Val (new)

Val Hdz I love to travel by airplane, it's faster and I like it


message 680: by Kang Ying (new)

Kang Ying She It Is actually true but sometimes my ears hurt when it goes down. And I hate the food in the aeroplane. And it is pretty boring sometimes.


message 681: by Val (new)

Val Hdz Yeah also in the airplane when I am hungry there's no food, and I don't like to stay always sitting


message 682: by Kang Ying (new)

Kang Ying She I Agree with you there. :P


message 683: by Evelin (new)

Evelin I don't like sitting in the same place for even a minute, when I am not allow to do something.


message 684: by Dairelin (new)

Airports are frustrating my flight always get delayed


message 687: by Zara (last edited Aug 28, 2016 05:41PM) (new)

Zara Yeah the airports are actually worse than the plane because you have to find parking, make sure you have everything, go through security (never pack a pencilcase), walk to the gate, and wait. Wait. Wait. My parents are always early to everything.
But then on the aeroplane my ears hurt and it isn't good to be sitting there for that long but I don't really care because Qantas has in-flight entertainment I just watch Supergirl. And the view out the window is pretty cool especially at night when the city is all lit up or during the day the Sydney Harbour.


message 688: by Kang Ying (last edited Aug 28, 2016 08:53PM) (new)

Kang Ying She Same Here actually. I hate to wait (if I don't have any books to read.) And I hate that I can't do anything in the aeroplane.

Hmm... now that IS a plothole. But what I think happened is that maybe it was either forgotten or ignored for the sake of the greater good, hearing an awesome story told from Apollo's point of view.

Or... maybe it was ignored in the 1st book but could pop up later in the series, making Zeus give Apollo his immortality back.
We'll just have to wait and see. :)


message 690: by Kang Ying (new)

Kang Ying She That is the best part to read a book. You have to wait and see what will happens next. Btw it is the same when I see a cartoon season or anime which loved before.

I don't feel like waiting 4 more years for the other books to come out.
True the suspence.

We don't say freshman in Australia really ever. Especially since we only have primary and secondary school whereas America has elementary, middle and high which I think is better than Australia's system.

P.S. I'll stop saying "in Australia" all the time I keep repeating myself.
