If you visit book. Load More Follow on Instagram. More Info About Rick If you are doing a school report and need information about Rick Riordan, this is the best site to use.
Worked as an editor for the school newspaper and won third place in state for UIL feature writing. Also got in trouble for publishing an underground newspaper that made fun of the school, especially the losing football team. The football team later egged my car. Began college at North Texas State because I thought I wanted to be a guitar player and they had the best music program , but then transferred to the University of Texas at Austin. Graduated with a double major in English and history.
I probably read it ten times. I also liked Greek and Norse mythology since I was in middle school. I read mostly fantasy and science fiction in high school, then got interested in mysteries when I got to college.
Then in the second grade, Haley would often request upon Rick to tell him stories inspired by Greek mythologies. After Rick finished telling the story in three nights, Haley requested him to write down the story as a book. Not wanting to disappoint his son, Riordan took out time to write down the story.
To show his respect and care for dyslexic children, Riordan attributed some characteristics of this disease to Percy.
While living in California was enjoyable and comfortable for his wife and kids, Riordan yearned for Texas. His nostalgic feelings for Texas led him to write a mystery novel set in San Antonio, his hometown.
D in English. How has all of the media attention affected your life and your work? I live for the individual encounters with kids who have become readers because they found the Percy books, or the e-mails from parents thanking me for writing the books. As a former teacher, that is just gold for me. JL: Rather than resting on your laurels, you took on a new challenge. Although the 39 Clues series was conceived by Scholastic, how have you made it your own project?
I fleshed out the cast of characters and decided on a historical focus for each book. It was a fascinating challenge, and I love the idea of making world history fun for kids. JL: What makes the 39 Clues series a groundbreaking project? Where do you see the series going in the next few years, and how will the books sustain themselves for the next generation of readers if they are dependent on the multimedia platform and the game? Is that the future?
My job as the writer was to make sure the books stood on their own, even if the reader never gets online. The response from kids so far has been very positive. JL: Have you ever played a mystery game like the one in the 39 Clues?
That will make a lot more sense once people have read the ending of the Percy series. Readers will have a pretty good idea where the second series is heading. The Battle of the Labyrinth. Also available in an audio edition from Listening Library. The fourth entry in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series follows year-old Percy and his fellow demigod campers as they search the Labyrinth for its creator and battle the forces of evil.
The Last Olympian. Just as action-packed as its predecessors, the final entry in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series culminates in an all-out showdown on the streets of Manhattan.
