Rick Riordan found the perfect way to make mythology interesting to kids – he made it relatable. Greek mythology especially was full of dramatic feuds, fantastical births, and complex family dynamics. Before Percy Jackson, most mythological stories were told in a rather boring way. The premise of the Percy Jackson series is simple – a modernizing myth. So what’s the formula to this incredible success? Read on to take a trip down nostalgia lane and find out the secrets behind Rick Riordan’s genius. Other than Percy Jackson, Riordan also created the Kane Chronicles surrounding Egyptian mythology and the Magnus Chase series based on Norse mythology. Rick Riordan sold over 20 million copies worldwide in the last decade and is still pumping out new novels to this day. It is perhaps the most successful children and young adult book series since Harry Potter. There wasn’t a single kid who didn’t know Percy Jackson.
I had friends who had never finished a book before Percy Jackson, who read all five books in the main series as well as all five books in the Heroes of Olympus series. Percy Jackson and the Olympians were all the rage when I was in middle school. If you grew up as a bookworm in the late 2000s or early 2010s, chances are, you’ve read a Percy Jackson book or two.
