Blurb:
How are the Greek gods like your middle school principal?
Would you want to be one of Artemis’s Hunters?
Why do so many monsters go into retail - and why are they never selling
anything a demigod really wants?
At the beginning of The
Lightning Thief, Percy Jackson tells us to stop reading: if we suspect
we, too, might be demigods, we should put the book down right away. But
how can we, when the world he lives in is so much fun?
Spend a little more time
in that world - a place where the gods bike among us, monsters man snack
bars, and each of us has the potential to become a hero.
Find out:
-
The pros and cons of
having a god as a parent
-
Why Dionysus might
actually be the best director Camp Half-Blood could have
-
How to tell a monster
when you see one
-
Why even if we aren’t
facing manticores and minotaurs, reading myths can still help us deal
with the scary things in our own lives
PLUS, consult our glossary of people, places, and things from Greek myth:
how Medusa got her snake hair extensions, why Chiron isn’t into partying
and paintball like the rest of his centaur family, and the whole story on
Percy’s mythical namesake (could it hold clues to Percy’s fate?).
