Percy Jackson and the Olympians Pack Award-winning author Pack by Rick Riordan (author) (UK edition)

Author/Illustrator

Rick Riordan

Rick Riordan is a teacher and a writer, and has won many awards for his mystery novels for adults. He says that the idea for Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief first came to him while he was teaching Greek mythology at middle school in San Francisco. But rumour has it that Camp Half Blood actually exists, and Rick spends his summers there recording the adventures of young demigods. Some believe that, to avoid a mass panic among the mortal population, he was forced to swear on the River Styx to present Percy Jackson’s story as fiction. Rick lives in Texas (apart from his summers on Half Blood Hill) with his wife and two sons.

   lightning thief

   I really like this book because it's mysterious and exiting. I have only read a few pages but I still like it I think the author
   should make some more books for children to read. You feel tense when Percy get's into a fight with some weird monster.

   Rick riordan is the best writer ever! Adventurous as well as funny. I am surprised that Rick riordan actually wrote the actual myth by putting it into real world. Just find it out in Wikipedia

    If you love fantasy and Greek mythology you will, for certain, not be able to put these books down. You will fall in love with characters like Percy, Annabeth and Nico and at times sympathize with Greek Gods like Artemis and Hestia. You will start to dislike characters like Luke and then realise that they are actually not that bad, just slaves of their own destinies. This is a roller coaster of a book and is sure to satisfy the tastes of everyone. 5 out of 5!

    I secretly have a huge crush crush on Percy Jackson! I am addicted to Ancient Greece mythology, it’s so interesting (that’s why I love the BBC1 show Atlantis). The Lost Hero is definitely going on my Christmas Wishlist along with some of Rick’s other books.
