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.

If you want to learn about greek gods it can help. Cos reading stuff in other books can be quite hard because of the language used. But this is modern. So it's in kid language basically.

the book is action pavked and filled with excitement. I recommend it to any book readers 4th grade and up. u really need to read it

I love this book! It tells many facts about the Greek Gods and has tons of humor. Percy Jackson makes a fun narrator.

This book was cool because you learned about the gods and more Greek and roman mythology, but I really want to know in the books how dyslexic relates and ADHD even know how I have dyslexic and how it relates with my life.
