Poor Rick Riordan--dissed by his own son. My son LOVES the Percy Jackson series and is reading Riordan's coauthored book on Greek myths which is much more readable than some of the other mythology books out there.
I also love Rick Riordan because he ensures that his books are available as eBooks, which is crucial for my son who has visual processing disorder! He can't read regular books for long stretches because of the black/white contrast but on Kindle he can read and read and read. I wish J.K. Rowlings and other authors would appreciate how important eBooks are for these kids!
