Lou-ann' Couteau asked Rick Riordan:

Did you ever had this turning point in any book of yours where you changed totally what was supposed to happen ? Consequently there could be a totally different end to the story that we all know. Are even a totally different story ? Is here a huge what if? in one of your books ?

Rick Riordan It's an interesting question, but no, I can't think of any book I've written that has a drastically different ending than the one I originally anticipated. That happened to some extent in my earliest books (adult mysteries) when I was still learning the best way (for me) to plot, but since then I know the general outline pretty far in advance. Details change all the time, but not the overall story.

Hey there! So, I know of the many renditions of the story we all love, Percy Jackson ( Movie, musical, show, ect.) But, I have heard of my own school doing a dance performance of the story! Also heard that you had seen it! How was that? Thanks!

WILL U READ asked Rick Riordan:

Hi Mr. Riordan! Do you think that your imprint (RRP) will be able to do movie adaptations? I really like the Storm Runner series and the book that Sarwat Chadda wrote was so awesome and cool. Many stories have really great potential as movies overall. Just curious because I see a lot of book series getting adapted for shows on Disney Plus. With kind regards, Will.
