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.
