Narrated in Percy's unmistakable voice, this hardcover companion to Percy Jackson's Greek Gods brings Perseus, Atalanta, Bellerophon, Otrera, and more of the ancient world's original demigod heroes vividly to life. Packed with vibrant illustrations and Percy's trademark sarcasm, it's an essential addition for any young mythology fan's bookshelf, whether they're brand new to Camp Half-Blood or a longtime devotee of Riordan's world. About the Book Who cut off Medusa's head? Who was raised by a she-bear? Who tamed the winged horse Pegasus? Percy Jackson is here to fill you in on all the daring deeds of the Greek world's greatest heroes. Following the success of Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, this collection turns its attention to the mortals (and demigods) who took on monsters, kingdoms, and the gods themselves — and mostly survived to tell the tale. Told in the funny, irreverent style that fans have come to love, Percy narrates the triumphs and, frequently, spectacular screw-ups of figures like Perseus, Atalanta, Bellerophon, Otrera, and Achilles. Enhanced throughout with dynamic, full-colour artwork from Caldecott Honoree John Rocco, this sturdy hardcover collection distils centuries of classical mythology into a format that's genuinely funny and surprisingly informative. Whether it's decapitating monsters, raiding the Underworld, or shooting a god in the backside, there's an adventure — and a lesson — on every page. It's the perfect gift for reluctant readers who love action and humour, and for devoted Percy Jackson fans.
