The first book was adapted into a film titled ''Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief'' in 2010, which was commercially successful, but received mixed reviews. An adaptation of the second book, titled ''Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Sea of Monsters'', was released in 2013.〔
==Origins==
Development for both ''The Lightning Thief'' and the Percy Jackson series commenced when Rick Riordan began making stories for his son Haley Riordan, who had at the time been diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. His son had been studying Greek mythology in second grade and requested that his father tell him bedtime stories based on Greek myths. When Riordan ran out of myths, his son suggested that he make up new stories using existing mythological characters and new ones. This led Riordan to create the fictional character of Percy Jackson and create the story of how he travels across the United States to recover Zeus's lightning-bolt.
While he left his manuscript to his agent and editor for review, Riordan took his book to a group of 6th, 7th, and 8th graders to read and critique. He gained their approval, and with their help, came up with the name of the book and created the way Percy's sword works. In 2004, the book was sold to Miramax Books for enough money for Riordan to quit his job and focus on writing. After it was released on 28 June 2005, it sold over 1.2 million copies. The book was released in multiple versions, including hardcover, paperback and audio editions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jesse Bernstein )〕 It has been translated into multiple languages and published all over the world.
