Rick Riordan’s son, Haley, has dyslexia and ADHD. Aged nine, he refused to read, but loved Greek myths so Rick turned his boy into a latterday hero – Percy Jackson – in a series of bestselling books and now a Hollywood movie
Haley Riordan is one of the two sons of Rick Riordan who inspired him to create the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. He once asked his father for more stories about Greek mythology, leading him to make up new myths based on ancient myths, thus the character Percy Jackson was created.
Haley helps out his father with new ideas. Rick Riordan even let his son write one of the four stories in The Demigod Diaries (Son of Magic) when he was 16. The story is about a man named Dr. Claymore and a boy named Alabaster C. Torrington, a son of Hecate, who decided to fight along with Kronos in the Second Olympian War.
