Did you get a chance to read of the Gods in last year’s Percy Jackson’s Greek Gods? I hope so, because now we’re doing a giveaway where you can enter for a chance to win a copy of Percy Jackson’s Greek Heroes by Rick Riordan!
As with Greek Gods, it will be written by Rick Riordan, but in Percy-speak, with all his humor and sarcasm. It will also be illustrated by John Rocco, who also illustrated the book covers for all the Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Heroes of Olympus books.
It’ll be another fun read as Percy Jackson gives us his take on the demigods before him, his relatives. Here’s the description:
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 fill you in on the all the daring deeds of Perseus, Atalanta, Bellerophon, and the rest of the major Greek heroes. Told in the funny, irreverent style readers have come to 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 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, this story collection will become the new must-have classic for Rick Riordan’s legions of devoted 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.
Not only will 1 winner receive a copy of Greek Heroes, the winner will also get their own “Percy Pack” black and silver backpack!
The backpack is very roomy, has a front pocket to place your pens and some small items. The inside is big enough for several books or pieces of clothing. There’s an inside pocket that you can put a digital device like an e-reader or tab or iPad. There are several options for entering the giveaway, which are noted below, including commenting below as one of the options.
