Rick Riordan Presents is a middle-grade publishing imprint that extends the mythology-meets-adventure formula of Percy Jackson into cultures around the world. Curated by Rick Riordan but written by authors from the cultures represented, these fast-paced fantasy novels weave modern protagonists and humor with gods, legends, and folklore from places like Mexico, Nigeria, South Asia, and East Asia. Parents and educators appreciate that the books offer both page-turning plots and #OwnVoices representation, giving readers windows into perspectives often missing from mainstream fantasy shelves. For many kids, they become “one more chapter, please” reads that also spark interest in real-world history and mythology. The books are standard hardcover or paperback prices and widely available in libraries, making them easy to sample. They work well as independent reads or as read-alouds for ages roughly 9–13, especially for fans of adventure series.
