About This Book

A book of firsts! One epic collection containing the first book from three different New York Times #1 best-selling series by Rick Riordan. THE LIGHTNING THIEF: Zeus's master lightning bolt has been stolen and Percy Jackson is the prime suspect. He and his friends have ten days to find and return it and bring peace to a warring Mount Olympus. To succeed, Percy has come to terms with the father who abandoned him, solve the riddle of the Oracle that warns of betrayal by a friend, and unravel a tre

Our Review

This collection serves as the ultimate entry point into Rick Riordan's wildly popular modern mythology universe, bundling the first explosive adventures from his three major series. Readers are thrown headfirst into the action with The Lightning Thief, where twelve-year-old Percy Jackson discovers he's a demigod and must clear his name by finding Zeus's stolen master bolt. The journey continues with the first books from the Kane Chronicles and the Heroes of Olympus series, each introducing a new cast of young heroes grappling with divine parentage and world-saving prophecies. This is a non-stop tour through Egyptian and Greco-Roman myths reimagined in the contemporary world.

What makes this compilation so effective is its perfect pacing and Riordan's signature blend of laugh-out-loud humor and high-stakes adventure. The seamless transition between series showcases his talent for building interconnected worlds where ancient gods and monsters feel startlingly present. Teen readers who devour fast-paced fantasy with relatable, sarcastic protagonists will find themselves instantly hooked, likely racing through this entire volume in a few sittings and immediately hunting down the sequels. It's a masterclass in making classic mythology feel fresh, urgent, and immensely entertaining for a new generation.
