Publication date: April 6, More Riordan Presents? But Camp Half-Blood Confidential explores much more than just the buildings and grounds. It includes info that can only be learned from those who live there. For instance, campers do not always co-exist in peace and harmony. The camp is not run with superior efficiency.
Prophecies do not flow forth with great regularity. Sprinkled throughout are stories from heroes who have called Camp Half-Blood home or just passed through on their way to places unknown. Chiron himself introduces the book with a brief history of training based on his millennia of experience.
There is no way a movie can ever create images as good as the ones you actively create in your imagination as you read. As I said, I was not involved with making the movie, nor did I have any control or input on the casting choices for the first movie. Asking the author of a book on which a movie was based to give you a part in the movie is like asking the custodian at your school to give you an A in English class.
It just doesn't work that way! There was a Percy live musical! What did you think about that? I didn't see the musical either, because I just have a really hard time seeing adaptations of my work. However, the fans of the books LOVE the musical. Because of that, I love it too! I know the musical tried to be very faithful to the story and according to those who have seen it, they nailed it! I understand there was a Nintendo DS game associated with the first movie release, but I have no other information on plans for other video games or other merchandise.
When I have more information, I will let you know, but we are still in the earliest stages of development. The comments above about casting still apply: Sorry, I can't help you. I'm interested in booking an event with Rick Riordan. How do I do this? I only do public events as part of the formal book tour each time a new book comes out. These are all arranged by the publisher many months in advance, not by me. While I visited hundreds of schools in the past and loved meeting young readers, the travel was hard on my family and my writing deadlines suffered.
Because of this, I no longer arrange any events outside the book tours — this includes school visits, online events Skype, Zoom, etc. Right now the most important way I can connect with young readers is to write the best books I can as quickly as I can, but thanks for your interest! I love meeting my readers! The only bad thing is that there is only one of me and there are so many places to visit. Each time a book comes out, the publisher schedules a tour, but we usually only have time to go to eight cities at the maximum, and that's just for the U.
The publisher decides where to send me. I don't make the tour. They try to send me to different places each time, but still, they can't possibly send me everywhere. That means it's unlikely I'll be in your area on any given tour. I'm never able to travel internationally for tours just because I have to spend most of my time writing, and travel is very time-consuming.
I'd love to visit all the countries where my books are published, but if I did that, it would take me five to ten years to write each book, and I don't think you want to wait that long!
So, no, if you live outside North America, you will not see me on tour. Remember you can order signed books from any store that hosts an event, however, as described above.
Most stores ships internationally. I know it says I can't email you, but can I email you anyway? The best way that I can communicate with you is by writing the best story I can for you to read, and writing it as quickly as I can.
Thanks for understanding! No, never. I am aware of fanfic, but I go out of my way to avoid it. For one thing, it's legally tricky ground. I can't actively endorse anyone else using my copyrighted material. I also don't want anyone claiming later on, "Hey, you got that idea from my fan fiction!
It's like somebody getting into my closet and trying on my clothes. It's just weird seeing someone else try to write about my characters. Then again, I can't listen to the audio versions of my books. It drives me crazy hearing another voice beside my own narrating my stories. And, as I've explained many times, I also couldn't watch the Percy Jackson movie for much the same reason. Is there really a Camp Half-Blood, and can you make one in my town? I do not officially endorse or license any of these camps, and am not involved with them in any way.
Running a camp takes a huge amount of time and energy, which is why only a few places in the US have them. Can I get Camp Half-Blood t-shirt? Many years ago, I used to give out Camp Half-Blood t-shirts for freebies at events, but I can't do that anymore. It caused problems, because I could only give out a few, and some people who didn't get t-shirts felt really bad or parents got upset.
Those t-shirts are long gone! Occasionally the publisher will print T-shirts for promotional giveaways at events, but I don't have any extras to share. I don't sell t-shirts. It's just not something I have the time or inclination to do, since most of my time needs to be spent writing the books, right? However, many fans make their own Camp Half-Blood t-shirts, and they are much more creative than anything I could come up with.
If you want to do that, go for it! You will also see unlicensed shirts for sale online, but be aware I have nothing to do with such products and they are not sanctioned by me or Disney.
I'm doing a report for school. Can you give me some information? The website has a ton of information for school reports. And please be careful of using Wikipedia. It's very often wrong. Good luck with your project! I need something else to read! Can you recommend any books? You bet! The best place to go is my Goodreads page , where I have reviews for hundreds of books I've enjoyed, both children's and adult titles.
You got something wrong from Greek mythology! I love my readers because you guys are very astute and you know your mythology. But wait, what do you mean by "wrong"?
Remember Greek mythology has been around for thousands of years, and it was retold over and over again, the details changing as different storytellers brought the myths to different cities. There are so many different versions of each myth.

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.
