Rick Riordan's new sixth book about the adventures of Percy Jackson topped Amazon's ratings in the categories "Children's books about Greece and Rome" and "Children's adventure literature" and took third place in the children's fantasy rating on Amazon, Izvestia writes.
The sixth part of the series about Percy Jackson, a demigod boy, son of the god Poseidon, was written by Riordan 14 years after the previous one. In terms of popularity, books about Percy Jackson quite successfully compete with JK Rowling's Potter series.
In the book “Percy Jackson and the Cup of the Gods,” the grown-up protagonist tries to enroll in a special educational institution, bypassing the rules, since, by virtue of his birth, he does not have the right to study there. To enter the university, he will have to pass three heroic tests.
Based on Rick Riordan's previous Percy Jackson books, two films were made - Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Chris Columbus and Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters by Thor Freudenthal. Logan Lerman played the main role in them.
