Overview
This two-book paperback set gathers Rick Riordan's witty, myth-drenched storytelling for young mythology fans. Percy Jackson and the Greek Gods lets demigod Percy narrate the feuds and rivalries of Olympus in his trademark irreverent voice, while Percy Jackson and the Greek Heroes spotlights twelve legendary figures and their daring, often disastrous quests. Together they turn classical mythology into fast, funny reading that middle-grade kids actually want to finish, whether for a school project or just for fun on a rainy afternoon. It's a natural fit for anyone who already loves Percy Jackson.
About the Books
Rick Riordan built his career turning ancient myths into page-turning adventure, and this pair of companion volumes shows that skill at its sharpest. In Percy Jackson and the Greek Gods, Percy narrates Olympus, walking readers through the family tree of Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Athena, and the rest of the pantheon in blunt, funny modern language, explaining why Kronos ate his own children and how Athena was born from her father's head. It reads like a big brother explaining family drama, which is exactly the appeal for readers who find traditional myth collections dry. Percy Jackson and the Greek Heroes shifts focus to twelve legendary Greek heroes, including Perseus, Atalanta, Bellerophon, and Theseus, tracing their triumphs, flaws, and often brutal endings without losing Riordan's humor. Read together, the two books build a fuller picture of the Greek mythological world that shaped Riordan's own Percy Jackson novels, giving series fans a natural next step and newcomers a livelier entry point than a textbook. Both volumes work well for solo reading, a family read-aloud, or a classroom mythology unit.

About the Author
Rick Riordan is the American author behind the bestselling Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, which introduced millions of readers to Greek mythology through a modern demigod's eyes. A former middle school teacher, Riordan invented Percy's stories to entertain his own son, who has dyslexia and ADHD, and became known for making mythology feel funny and fast-paced rather than dusty. Riordan has since written series exploring Roman, Egyptian, and Norse mythology, cementing his reputation as a trusted name in mythology fiction for kids. His books remain staples in classrooms nationwide.
