Maizey Weston
Maizey Weston asked Rick Riordan:

Hello! I was wondering, how did you decide who's points of views would be in each book of Heroes of Olympus? Were there times when you chose not to put a character's point of view in and regretted it?

Mikayla
Mikayla asked Rick Riordan:

Hi Rick! I have a question about having a book adapted into a show/movie. Did Disney request that they get the rights to Percy Jackson, or did you propose the idea to them? Is that how it works for most book to screen adaptations, or something specific through your publisher? How much say do you get in casting, direction, script-writing, etc.?

Kayla
Kayla asked Rick Riordan:
