Percy Jackson's Greek Gods!


The cover for Percy Jackson's 
Greek Gods has been revealed!



Description:

Who could tell the origin stories 
of the gods of Olympus 
better than a modern-day 
demigod? Percy Jackson 
provides an insider's view 
with plenty of 'tude in this 
illustrated collection.

A publisher in New York
 asked me to write down
 what I know about the 
Greek gods, and I was like, 
Can we do this anonymously? 
Because I don't need the 
Olympians mad at me again. 
But if it helps 
you to know your Greek 
gods, and survive an 
encounter with them if they ever
 show up in your face, then I 
guess writing all this down 
will be my good deed for the week. 

So begins Percy Jackson's 
Greek Gods, in which the son 
of Poseidon adds his own 
magic--and 
sarcastic asides--to 
the classics. He explains 
how the world was created, then 
gives readers his personal 
take on a who's who of ancients, 
from Apollo to Zeus. 
Percy does not hold 
back. "If you
 like horror shows, 
blood baths, lying, 
stealing, backstabbing, and
 cannibalism, then read on, 
because it definitely was a 
Golden Age for all that."

Dramatic full-color illustrations
 throughout by Caldecott 
Honoree John Rocco make this 
volume--a must for home,
 library, and classroom shelves--as stunning
 as it is entertaining. 

Thanks for Reading!
