Percy Jackson's Greek Gods

"Can we do this anonymously? A New York publisher requested me to put out everything I knew about the Greek gods. Since I don't want the Olympians to be upset with me once again. But I suppose putting all of this down would be my nice deed for the week if it helps you get to know your Greek gods and survive an encounter with them if they ever show up in your face." This is the opening of Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, where the Poseidon son infuses the classics with his own magic and caustic asides. After outlining the creation story, he offers the audience his unique interpretation of a who's who of ancient figures, ranging from Apollo to Zeus. Percy doesn't hesitate to act. "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." Caldecott Honoree John Rocco's dramatic full-color drawings throughout make this book as beautiful and fascinating as it is essential reading for classroom, library, and home shelves.
