“Look, I didn’t want to be a half-blood.”
Writer Rick Riordan became a household name in children’s fantasy literature when he debuted the first of six novels of the “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” series in 2005. Beginning with “The Lightning Thief,” readers grew to understand the struggles of 12-year-old Percy Jackson, a demigod whose human mother fell in love with an unknown god and raised Percy on her own. As young Percy discovered who he was, where he came from and the supernatural abilities he possessed, he began an immense quest.
Riordan’s novels were adapted for the silver screen in the mid-2010s, with actor Logan Lerman in the titular role as Percy Jackson.
