Eir
Eir asked Rick Riordan:

Did you name the rope Andskoti for some specific reason? Because it is both a swear word and a word for enermy in Icelandic and Old Norse.

Rick Riordan It's a swear word, too? Sweet!

WILL U READ
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.

Sarah Bennett
Sarah Bennett asked Rick Riordan:

I teach freshmen. Do you have a go-to book rec (middle grades and/or YA) for fans of your books? I am a huge fan and love that so many of my students are, too!
