The Hidden Oracle by Rick Riordan

The Hidden Oracle (Trials of Apollo, #1)

by Rick Riordan

How do you punish an immortal?

By making him human.

After angering his father Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. Weak and disorientated, he lands in New York City as a regular teenage boy. Now, without his godly powers, the four-thousand-year-old deity must learn to survive in the modern world until he can somehow find a way to regain Zeus's favour.

But Apollo has many enemies - gods, monsters and mortals who would love to see the former Olympian permanently destroyed. Apollo needs help, and he can think of only one place to go . . . an enclave of modern demigods known as Camp Half-Blood.

This took me way too long to read and I think it has to do with being tired of Riordan's writing--lbr, 14 books worth and then some will do that to a person. But hot damn, if I won't read the next one.
