Percy Jackson and the Singer of Apollo

In this delightful picture book, young readers are introduced to the world of Percy Jackson as he teams up with his best friend, Grover the satyr. When one of Apollo's golden backup singers, a 'Celedon,' goes missing in New York City, it's up to Percy and Grover to find her before Apollo's big concert on Mount Olympus. This story is perfect for children aged 3-7, offering a lighthearted adventure that introduces elements of Greek mythology in an accessible way. It emphasizes teamwork and problem-solving, making it an entertaining read-aloud that even fans of the original series can enjoy with their younger children.

The trouble starts when Apollo introduces Percy and his friend Grover the satyr to the Chryseae Celedones. Three golden women--living statues--appear in front of them, and sing one blissful chord. Apollo has a concert tonight at Mount Olympus, and he needs the Celedones as his backup singers. But there should be a quartet, not a trio--one of the singers has gone rogue. It's up to Percy and Grover to find the missing Celedon somewhere in New York City before she causes any problems. Capturing an attention-seeking automaton in a crowd of mortals is going to require some cagey thinking. Will Percy and Grover succeed, or hit a sour note?
