Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes

From New York Times best-selling author, Rick Riordan, comes the companion to PERCY JACKSON'S GREEK GODS, now in paperback. The son of Poseidon returns to share his unique and unforgettable insight into twelve larger-than-life personalities from the classic Greek stories. Who cut off Medusa's head? Who was raised by a she-bear? Who tamed Pegasus? It takes a demigod to know, and Percy Jackson can tell you all about the daring deeds of Perseus, Atalanta, Bellerophon, and other major Greek heroes. Told in the funny style readers expect from Percy, (I've had some bad experiences in my time, but the heroes I'm going to tell you about were the original hard luck cases. They boldly messed up where no one had messed up before. . .) and enhanced with vibrant artwork by Caldecott Honoree John Rocco, this story collection will become a new must-have classic for Rick Riordan's many fans--and for anyone who needs a hero. So get your flaming spear. Put on your lion skin cape. Polish your shield and make sure you�ve got arrows in your quiver. We�re going back about four thousand years to decapitate monsters, save some kingdoms, shoot a few gods in the butt, raid the Underworld, and steal loot from evil people. Then, for dessert, we�ll die painful tragic deaths. Ready? Sweet. Let�s do this.
