Percy Jackson's Greek Gods & Heroes Boxed Set

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.
Rick Riordan, dubbed “storyteller of the gods” by Publishers Weekly, is the author of five New York Times #1 best-selling series with millions of copies sold across the globe, including Percy Jackson and the Olympians, now a hit live-action show on Disney+. He expanded on that first series with two more: the Heroes of Olympus and the Trials of Apollo, both of which cleverly combine Greek and Roman gods and heroes with his beloved modern characters. Rick also tackled the ancient Egyptian gods in the magic-filled Kane Chronicles trilogy, and Norse mythology in Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard. He lives in Boston, Massachusetts, with his wife, Becky. Follow his news on RickRiordan.com.

John Rocco studied illustration at Rhode Island School of Design and The School of Visual Arts. In addition to writing and illustrating several of his own picture books, including Blizzard and the Caldecott Honor-winning and New York Times best-selling Blackout, he has created all of the cover art for Rick Riordan's best-selling Percy Jackson, Kane Chronicles, and Heroes of Olympus series. He has also illustrated books by Whoopi Goldberg and Katherine Patterson, and he recently co-authored a novel, Swim That Rock, with Jay Primiano. Before becoming a full-time children's book creator, he worked as an art director on "Shrek" for Dreamworks, and for Disney Imagineering. He lives in Los Angeles.
