Summary:The son of Poseidon adds his own magic — and sarcastic asides — to the classics in this collection of myths, retold in Percy's unique voice. He explains how the world was created, then gives readers his personal take on a who's who of ancients, from Apollo to Zeus, and he doesn't hold back. Dramatic full-color illustrations throughout by Caldecott honoree John Rocco make this volume as stunning to look at as it is entertaining to read.(Credits to Scholastic)
