"Combining the sarcasm and wit of Percy Jackson with the original
Greek myths is a great way to hook tweens and teens on the stories
without boring them. The beautiful illustrations by John Rocco
enhance each story. . ." "VOYA""
"Percy's gift, which is no great secret, is to breathe new life
into the gods. Closest attention is paid to the Olympians, but
Riordan has a sure touch when it comes to fitting much into a small
space-as does Rocco's artwork, which smokes and writhes on the page
as if hit by lightning. . .The inevitable go-to for Percy's legions
of fans who want the stories behind his stories." "Kirkus
Reviews""
"The age-old stories are endlessly strong, resonant, and
surprising, while the telling here is fresh, irreverent, and
amusing. Percy's voice. . . John Rocco illustrates the myths with
drama, verve, and clarity. A must-have addition to the Percy
Jackson canon." "Booklist Online""
