adaptations of the novels and by Chris McCarrell in the
musical.Development of the character Percy Jackson began when Rick
Riordan started inventing stories for his son Haley Riordan, who was
diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia in the spring of 2002. When Haley was
in second grade and he was studying Greek mythology, he asked his
father to tell him bedtime stories based on those myths. When his
father ran out of ideas, Haley suggested that he make up new stories
that combined existing mythological characters with new ones. This led
Riordan to create the fictional character of Percy Jackson and the
story of his travels across the United States to recover Zeus's
lightning-bolt. Haley then[when?] suggested it be written as a novel.
Riordan received input on the manuscript from some of his middle
school students before taking the idea of Percy Jackson to a
publisher. Percy Jackson Top Movies & Young Movies
