\u201cIt made me wonder what was happening back at camp between the books of the original series, when Percy, Annabeth, and Grover weren\u2019t around,\u201d he said. \u201cThis new series gives me a chance to explore that idea, while opening up Percy\u2019s world by introducing a new group of demigod heroes, co-created with amazing authors who can write authentically about those heroes\u2019 backgrounds. It\u2019s been an incredible thrill!\u201d<\/p>\n
The first installment, \u201cThe Wild Zone,\u201d was written with Annebelle Oh and comes out Sept. 29. Kyle Lukoff, Jade Adia and Pablo Cartaya are working with Riordan on the second, third and fourth books, respectively. Each will be published six months apart.<\/p>\n
According to Random House, \u201cThe Wild Zone\u201d tells of \u201cancient threats and long-buried secrets\u201d and how \u201ccampers begin to disappear, unlikely new heroes must face monsters, curses, and impossible choices, all while discovering what it truly means to belong.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
