One of eight in a series of beautiful cloth-bound books published to mark the 85th anniversary of Puffin books, this striking edition of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief will make the perfect present for any kids in your life who love fast-paced funny fiction, and those who are into myths and larger-than-life fantastical adventure stories.

If you’ve yet to meet Percy, when The Lightning Thief begins, he’s a 12-year-old boy at a “private school for troubled kids in upstate New York”. Everything changes when he discovers he’s the son of Poseidon, Greek god of the sea. Matters are quick to become much more perilous (and funny) when it emerges that Zeus, king of the gods, believes Percy is behind the theft of his super-powerful lightning bolt.

A brilliantly funny protagonist, punchy dialogue, legendary gods that leap from the page, and authentic, trailblazing representation of ADHD and dyslexia — there are plenty of reasons the Percy Jackson books continue to entertain a broad range of youngsters (and adults, for that matter), and this new edition, with its foiled cloth livery and sprayed edges, is the ideal way to introduce a new generation of readers to their new favourite fantasy series in swanky style.
