Learning about authors.

Rick Riordan's web page is very appealing to the human eye if you enjoyed his books. It has a picture of a dragon with a boy standing next to it and the writing is written in the same font as his book 'Percy Jackson and the lightning thief.' It also has a picture of him smiling, thus showing the man behind the book.

Rick started his career as a english teacher. This lead on to writing books. The 'ancient Greek' inspired books started as he had great interest of history. He was also a teacher in that subject. Saint mary's hall awarded him with the schools first 'Master Teacher award'. Whilst teaching, Rick wrote novels for grownups. He started writing the lightning thief series as a bed time story for his own son.
