About

Ever wondered: Who brought back the Golden Fleece? Who Killed Minotaur? Then read all about these heroes and more. Percy Jackson explained in a version modern-day people can understand. Not complicated old Greek-y stuff. (It's hard to understand.)

There is the 12 main Greek Heroes that Percy Jackson will go over, most are actual heroes, one is a really desperate wife, and one is just a woman who hates most men. These heroes and others are: Perseus, Psyche, Phaethon, Otrera, Daedalus, Theseus, Atlanta, Bellerophon (Hipponous), Cyrene, Orpheus, Hercules (Heracles, his Greek name), and Jason. Be prepared to see the name, Hippo- something or other, there is like 10.

Problem

Problems can be a big issue, like all the issues that happen to the heroes, just ask them! Oh wait a moment, they are all dead. Sorry for the inconvenience! Just kidding, not all of them. Just most of them.

"Percy Jackson Began as a bedtime story for my son Haley. In the spring of 2002, when Haley was in first grade, he began having trouble at school. We soon found out he had ADHD and dyslexia. This made reading difficult for him, but he did enjoy Greek mythology, which I had taught in middle school for many years. To keep him interested in reading, I began telling Haley myths at home. When I ran out, he asked me to make up a new one. the resalt was Percy Jackson, the modern ADHD/dyslexic demigod, inspired by my son's own struggle.

Over the years, Haley and Percy have grown up together. Percy became a hero. Haley did some pretty Heroic things too. He learned to overcome his learning disabilities, excelled in school, became a voracious reader and -much to my astonishment-decided he wanted to write books of his own. He recently completed his first manuscript for a novel, which is longer than anything I've ever written! I also have to admit his writhing skills are light-years beyond where miwere at age sixteen.
At the time of this writing, Haley and Percy are the same age-sixteen. It's amazing to me how far both of them have come. When I was planning this book of stories it occurred to me that Haley might have something to say about Percy's world. After all, he inspired it. If not for his encouragement, I would would've written down The Lightning Thief.
I asked Haley if he'd like to contribute a story for Demigod Diaries. He immediately to up the challenge. The result is 'Son of Magic,' in which Haley carves out new territory in Percy's world. his story hinges on an intriguing question: After The Lat Olympian, what happend toe the demigods who fought in Kronos's army?
You're about to meet one of those demigods. You're also goingt to get some answers about how the Mist works, and why monsters can 'smell' heroes. I wish I'd come up with these ideias!
It seems only fitting that Haley and I have come full circle. The boy who inspired me to create Percy Jackson is now writing about Percy's world himself. It's my pleasure to introduce 'Son of Magic,' the debut story from Haley Riordan."
