Cover Reveals: Percy Jackson and the Olympians - Read Riordan

If you’re a fan of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, then you know that the book covers are an essential part of the experience. Percy Jackson and the Olympians have some of the most eye-catching book covers in the young adult fantasy genre. On the other hand, the plot is not directly connected to the first five books in the sense that this is a standalone adventure that happens during Percy’s senior year in high school, after the Heroes of Olympus series, but before the Trials of Apollo. In the first book of the series, which was Rick Riordan’s debut middle grade novel, Percy thought he was an ordinary boy and was trying to find his footing at boarding school. The UK book covers for Percy Jackson are different on many levels when compared with those of the US versions.Other series, like the Kane Chronicles, Trials of Apollo, and Magnus Chase, don’t feature Percy at all. Percy Jackson is the series’ protagonist, so it makes sense for the 2013 reissue to feature him on the covers.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians | Rick Riordan

It doesn’t take long before Percy is trying to unravel a mystery, with the help of two new friends, and sets out on a quest across the United States to prevent an all-out war between the gods. The first 2 instalments of the Percy Jackson series have also been made into feature-length movies that starred Logan Lerman, Brandon T. The Lightning Thief is the first book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series and follows the story of demigod Percy Jackson, who finds out he is the son of Poseidon. However, before he became a bestselling and award-winning author, Riordan taught English and history at public and private middle schools. That’s because the flow may feel disrupted with the short stories that are scattered throughout the timeline.Percy quickly goes from thinking he was an average young boy, to trying to wrap his head around Poseidon being his father.

Join Percy Jackson on his adventures as he learns he's not just any ordinary kid but the son of Poseidon, Greek God of the sea. Some of the short stories are also hard to place within the timeline, because trying to line up seasons, ages, and events within the overall timeline with the main books can be challenging. Worse still, the king of the gods thinks Percy has stolen his all-powerful lightning bolt - and it seems making Zeus angry is a very bad idea. So, that makes this the best place to begin reading these books for the first time, or a helpful refresher on the series. There is no obligation to add Chalice of the Gods to the original series unless you want to revisit your old friends from PJO.Riordan’s son was struggling at school with dyslexia and ADHD, but he had inherited his father’s passion for Greek mythology. I love her elegant, highly stylized work, which reminds me of the wonderful sci-fi and fantasy book covers I grew up with in the 1960s and 70s. The art is by Victo Ngai, who did the most recent US covers for the Percy Jackson and the Olympians original series, so this book will stand nicely next to the others.
