The perfect excuse to read The Lightning Thief, AGAIN.

Like you need one, but this really will be a great way to revisit this classic story. You can enjoy Percy’s kick-off adventure with an enhanced visual experience because there’s. . .

New John Rocco art on nearly every page!

We love his covers so much, we can’t believe they’ve packed an entire book with his artwork. You’re spoiling us, Uncle Rick!

This book is super collectible.

As if you need me to tell you this. But just know that this edition is full of luxe details. With all its stunning artwork and oversized glory, let’s face it. . .

You can put this one into rotation with its large-format kin, Percy Jackson’s Greek Gods and Percy Jackson’s Greek Heroes. As the original demigod adventure, it’s the perfect anchor for your Riordan-themed decor. Plus you can turn to a new page every day of. . .
