Everything Rick Riordan works on seems to be devoured instantly by eager young people all around the world who are willing to learn and are excited to hear a great story well told. Through his wildly popular series Percy Jackson &amp; the Olympians, Kane Chronicles, 39 Clues, and The Heroes of Olympus, Riordan has sparked young readers interest in world mythology and literature, a renewed fascination that is reinforced by film adaptations, toys, games, and other tie-ins. As a child, Riordan thought of books as too difficult to read and, in the end, not very interesting or worth the effortin fact, he grew up as a reluctant reader who didnt like books. While Riordan did eventually grow to love both reading and writing, it was a long journey for him. He has now found enormous success as a writer and storyteller. When he noticed his own young son struggling with reading, Riordan was able to capture his attention in the same way that he had finally been hookedthrough an interest in the otherworldly appeal of mythology. It was from these bedtime stories that he told to his son that the Percy Jackson series was born. The series not only helped to capture his sons imagination, it started a very successful career for Riordan as a young adult writer. Today, not only do Percy Jackson fans eagerly await another movie installment of the bestselling books, but increasing hype surrounds the film adaptations of the Kane Chronicles and The 39 Clues, too. Behind all of these impressive tokens of fame and success lie very humble beginnings. The stories millions of children love today came from the mind of just one man. This is Riordans inspiring story, one that is every bit as intriguing, dramatic, motivational, and full of unexpected twists and turns as any of his beloved and fantastical works of fiction. This volume includes fact

Book report The Mark of AthenaHafeleni HamunyelaJanuary 14 2014The Mark of Athena, a fantasy book with one of the best selling authors, Rick Riordan. This book continues from the “Son of Neptune” in the “Heroes of Olympus” series after the “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” series. The Mark of Athena is a book which has to do with Greek and Roman Mythology. Hazel, Frank, Annebeth,Percy,Jason, Piper and Leo, the prophecy of seven, where sent on a quest to defeat the twin giants, Otis and Ephialtes. Who are the sons of Gaea, an evil goddess (known as mother earth,) who can wake up and soon destroy the world. This story relates to the story when Gaea “killed” her husband and ruled with her kids, the giants. Then later on, she has a child named Kronos who gave birth to the gods of Olympus, Zeus, Poseidon, Hades etc. The story ends when the gods of Olympus make her sleep because she is too evil and powerful, and later on defeat the giants. How the Mark of Athena relates to this story is because the seven demigods have to destroy Gaea and her children in modern day. The Mark of Athena shows a theme of challenges. The story begins when the demigods from “Camp Half Blood,” a camp for Greek demigods go meat “Camp Jupiter,” a Roman camp. These two camps don't get along and they need to, in order to defeat Gaea. However, problems begging to happen when a demigod from “Camp Half Blood,” Leo Valdez possessed by eidolens decides to take the ship away and destroy some of the camp, this caused Romans to hate them even more which was Gaea's plan. But that's not even the best part, the twin giants have captured Nico, the seven demigods need to save Nico Di Angelo, Hazel Levesque's brother or else he will die in 7 days. Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena has to go through a challenging quest by following the Mark of Athena a quest where none of the children of Athena have succeeded, but have gone through painful deaths. Her challenge is to return her mom's statue to camp which was captured by Arachne, Athena's worst enemy. I think Rick Riordan did a good job in the book by teaching the readers some Greek myths as they run into people. However, I think Rick Riordan should of worked more on creating more battles in the book which kind of disappointed me. This story is interesting and it has more then one narrator. I recommend this book to people at any age who love fantasy books or finished reading the Son of Neptune. I strongly believe this book is much more interesting then Twilight and Harry Potter. My second recommendation is to advice people to read The House of Hades once you are finished with the Mark of Athena. The Mark of Athena ends with a cliff hanger which would make you eager to read the next book. The Mark of Athena is an exciting, romantic book.
