#tbt features The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. It was fifteen year ago on June 28 that Riordan's book debuted. My first edition copy has a different cover (below) than what eventually became the Percy Jackson brand, illustrated by John Rocco (above). 


The book that launched an empire. This story about a middle school misfit with dyslexia became my go-to book for readers, reluctant and otherwise, who wanted action and humor.
