Percy Jackson and the Greek Gods

“Combining the sarcasm and wit of Percy Jackson with the original Greek myths is a great way to hook tweens and teens on the stories without boring them. The beautiful illustrations by John Rocco enhance each story…”–VOYA“Percy’s gift, which is no great secret, is to breathe new life into the gods. Closest attention is paid to the Olympians, but Riordan has a sure touch when it comes to fitting much into a small space-as does Rocco’s artwork, which smokes and writhes on the page as if hit by lightning…The inevitable go-to for Percy’s legions of fans who want the stories behind his stories.”–Kirkus Reviews“The age-old stories are endlessly strong, resonant, and surprising, while the telling here is fresh, irreverent, and amusing. Percy’s voice… John Rocco illustrates the myths with drama, verve, and clarity. A must-have addition to the Percy Jackson canon.”–Booklist Online
