The journey to Olympus may not be as far as you think! You just have to get to the Empire State Building. And not get killed by monsters. Good thing we’ve got the perfect guide book - The Lightning Thief, the first book in Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. Featuring Mike Shubert of the hit podcast The Newest Olympian, we steal away into this electrifying book blending mythology, modern times, humor, and heroics!

Recipe: I can’t take any credit for this recipe. I tried this one, loved it, and haven’t done much customizing. Enjoy! Also, try Mike’s orzo recipe because it sounds incredible.
