Who could tell the origin stories of the gods of Olympus better than a modern-day demigod? Percy Jackson provides an insider’s view with plenty of ‘tude in this illustrated, paperback boxed set.

Told in the funny, irreverent style readers have come to expect from Percy, (I’ve had some bad experiences in my time, but the gods and heroes I’m going to tell you about were the original old school hard luck cases. They boldly screwed up where no one had screwed up before. . .) and enhanced with vibrant artwork by Caldecott Honoree John Rocco, these story collections will become the new must-have classic for Rick Riordan’s legions of devoted fans—and for anyone who needs a hero.
