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.

This book is the best! I love it so much! It is great to see Percy Jackson, a modern demigod, add input on these stories. It makes it more enjoyable to read. This book has given me so much knowledge, yet still entertains me.

Percy Jackson takes us on many adventures on this book, telling us about the greek gods, how they came to be in power, and their children. Rick Riordan tells us infinite facts and engaging stories. He makes the greek gods sound witty, smart, powerful, dangerous, and foolish at the same time. Percy Jackson, the narrator and a hero in Rick Riordan's other books, tells all the tales making us laugh with his funny and edgy sense of humour. "You can nearly feel the god's powers and stories coming to life while reading the book!" -Anonymous The book "Percy Jackson's Greek Gods" is one of the books you can read on forever or when you're finished, you can always turn the page to the story you want to read. Read the book to learn about the Greek Gods in Percy Jackson's view!
