Percy Jackson and the Singer of Apollo
Percy Jackson is celebrating Grover's birthday when Apollo turns up. He's due to perform in front of the other gods on Mount Olympus but one of his four beautiful celedon singers is missing. Percy sets off to bring her back, but the rogue celedon has sniffed her shot at a solo career and is holding up Broadway.
With the bright lights of Times Square in the background, it's a showdown to remember for Percy - can he find a way to capture her and return her to Apollo in time?

The Percy Jackson books and universe will always be a comfort read to me. I only just learned of this short story’s existence a few weeks ago, but it was just what I needed. We don’t see many Percy & Grover moments without Annabeth as the multiple series goes on, so this was chaotic and enjoyable. Having read this after “The Trials of Apollo” series, it’s interesting to see just how much Apollo as a character is destined to change eventually (in my opinion for the better!). Here, he is reflective of the god we know in “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” and is therefore very self-absorbed. I don’t think this is Rick’s strongest short story, but it’s enjoyable and nostalgic nevertheless, like coming home after a long time away.
