Top Retellings of Classic Tales

Holli asked Rick Riordan:

Hello!! Would you ever consider re-releasing the original covers for the Percy Jackson series? I have them from when I was a kid, but I have a lot of friends that fell in love with the series later in life, and they were never able to buy them. Thank you for answering all of our questions! I love reading these.

Rick Riordan I guess that depends on which original covers you mean. US version? UK version? International editions? The actual 'original' Lightning Thief cover was pretty awful. The one most people in North America think of as the original cover was actually the second version, the green one by John Rocco with Percy standing in the water, but the UK original version was totally different, and there were at least a dozen different covers across the world. Whether Disney would ever re-release the older US John Rocco covers, I don't know. They often like to "refresh" the series and offer different versions, so I guess it's possible. There are still quite a few of the older books available for sale here and there. The good news is, no matter what the cover looks like, the books are the same on the inside! Thanks for reading! : )

If a demigod took a DNA test? what would the result look like? Would the mist make it a faulty test or would they have such a wild family tree that the company would consider it a glitch?

How do you start your novels? I´m trying to write one myself but find myself struggling with just beginning it! Your openings are always so creative and grabbing. Any tips? Thanks so much!

Huda asked Rick Riordan:

dude, as an american muslim who's story is almost exactly like Sam's (family escaped from Baghdad, came to US, even my grandpa's name was Abbas!) I just wanted to tell you that when I told my grandmother about this character we both legitimately cried because it was the first time we have ever seen a character who was muslim for reasons other than the plot centering around it. You're so awesome??? Thank you so much.
