History of creation

Rick began to compose his first stories for his son Haley, who was diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit syndrome and hyperactivity) and dyslexia (violation of the ability to master the skill of Scripture or reading).
Haley adored Greek mythology: Little boy liked to learn about Perseus or Herakla's exploits. Rick also taught Greek mythology in middle classes. It so happened that Riordan wrote a fairy tale for his son and invented the main character - Percy Jackson, who travels in America in order to return the rod of Zeus. When the story was completed, Heiley asked her father to be engaged in writing a book.
The first book from the cycle, which is called "Percy Jackson and a Lightning Thief," appeared in bookstores on June 28, 2005, but the Russian readers saw it only in the fall of 2009.

Plot
A series of books telling about the adventures of Percy is based on mythology. Moreover, the author of Rick Riordan, verses in the culture of ancient Greece, scrupulously worked out images of heroes, but tried not to redo the legendary characters on his way, and rather the stories about the Olympians in the fictional storyline.
The main character was born on August 18, 1993. This is a twelve-year-old boy named Percy Jackson, who was diagnosed Dyslexia and ADHD. As for the appearance of the sibling of Poseidon, the author described it as an extremely attractive young man with black hair, tanned skin and bright green eyes. But sometimes Percy did not notice what the girls were popular. The guy is used to dress undusting: he wears baggy pants and an orange t-shirt.
All his life, the young man considered himself a problem child, and for this there were reasons: Jackson was constantly excluded from schools, because the boy fell into unforeseen and strange situations. His story begins at the Academy of Jency, where Jackson tried to adapt after another exception.
At one fine moment, Percy guessed that he was a half-breeding son of the Lord of the Sea waves of Poseidon and the death female Sally. Now it became clear why the seascape of the host of the seas could be under water for 7 minutes and loved when his mother was preparing a blue meal. The young man found out this mystery when a teacher of mathematics Mrs. Doddz was attacked, who turned out to be a mystical Fouria: the monster accused the boy that he stole zipper at the Ruzhozhtsya Zeus.
From that moment on, Percy realized that all mythological events were not fiction, but a reality. The boy learned that there is a special camper of the half-breed, created for the same children as he. There he meets the daughter of Athens - Annabeth Chase, who later became his girlfriend; The son of Hermes - Luke (Luke) Castellan and other guys.
It would seem that young demigods are waiting for interesting adventures, but everything is not so simple: the boy's mom killed the Minotaur, so the woman is in captivity of the God of the Dead - Aida. Percy wants to go to the underground kingdom, in order to save Sally Jackson, but before that he should prove the Lord of Olympus that he did not cradle with his lightning.
The main hero is given exactly ten days so that he finds the attribute of the thumbs up, otherwise, between three brothers - Aid, Zeus and Poseidon - war will begin. Percy, together with her friends, went to search for stolen lightning and faced many monsters, for example, with a jellyfish gorgon.
The effects of novels unfolds in the United States. Moreover, the writer came up with the original explanation for this plot go. According to his idea, the Olympic gods move on the planet with the center of the Western world. If I once this center was Greece, then today it is America. Therefore, in Riordan's stories, the kingdom of Aida is located in Los Angeles, and Mount Olympus moved to the mythical 600th floor in New York.
