Percy Jackson -- the movie -- in production!

Now that The Last Olympian is out (and on my nightstand to be devoured soon) my pining can turn to the Percy Jackson movie, aka the film version of The Lightning Thief. Rick Riordan has posted a wonderful and descriptive account of his visit to the set on his blog. It sounds like they are really doing the story justice. Let's hope!!

Coming Attractions: The Demigod Files by Rick Riordan

Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series (The Lightning Thief, etc.) recently posted on his blog http://rickriordan.blogspot.com that "The Demigod Files" will be released on February 10. This is a companion book to the series and will include three short stories (including one 50-page title that will be published separately in the UK). It also includes a map of camp, a peek inside Annabeth's camp chest, portraits and interviews with the main characters... and best of all, there will be a sneak peek of Percy Jackson 5: The Last Olympian (which we can look forward to reading in May). I would LOVE to review this book (hint hint Mr. Riordan!) and I'm sure there are many Percy Jackson fans who can't wait for this one!
