Rick Riordan has 29 past events. (show)  Youth Event: PETER LERANGIS Youth Event: Peter LerangisTuesday, March 5, 7:00 p.m. Seven Wonders: The Colossus RisesSeven Wonders: The Colossus Rises begins just before 13-year-old Jack McKinley is brought to a mysterious hospital as a captive of a secret organization. Told he has a rare genetic disorder that will soon kill him, Jack realizes he has one hope and one hope only: help the organization retrieve seven magical objects that have been lost among the ruins of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World for thousands of years.
The thrills begin in The Colossus Rises, the first installment in the epic seven-book adventure series Seven Wonders from master storyteller and bestselling 39 Clues series author Peter Lerangis. The highly anticipated series has received early praise from Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series, who says, "A high-octane mix of modern adventure and ancient secrets, The Colossus Rises is Lerangis's most gripping work yet. Young readers will love this story. I can't wait to see what's next in the Seven Wonders series!"

When newly unemployed Patrick and Barbara McDougal decide a vacation in Florida is just what they need to put life back on the right track, awful accommodations, a robbery, and a not-so-helpful police department make them rethink their decision to drown their troubles in paradise.
Luckily, charismatic (and crazy!) tour guide Serge Storms and his sidekick, Coleman, are up for another action-packed adventure in this outrageous crime thriller that Tim Dorsey fans won't soon forget.

For Rick Riordan, a bedtime story shared with his oldest son was just the beginning of his journey into the world of children’s books. Already an award-winning author of mysteries for adults, Riordan, a former teacher, was asked by his son Haley to tell him some bedtime stories about the gods and heroes in Greek mythology. “I had taught Greek myths for many years at the middle school level, so I was glad to comply,” says Riordan. “When I ran out of myths, (Haley) was disappointed and asked me if I could make up something new with the same characters.”
At the time, Haley had just been diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. Greek mythology was one of the only subjects that interested the then second-grader in school. Motivated by Haley’s request, Riordan quickly came up with the character of Percy Jackson and told Haley all about “(Percy’s) quest to recover Zeus’s lightning bolt in modern-day America,” says Riordan. “It took about three nights to tell the whole story, and when I was done, Haley told me I should write it out as a book.”
The rest is history...

EVENT DETAILS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE (added from IndieBound)… (more) Youth Event: RICK RIORDAN! Rick Riordan Tuesday, May 1, 7:00 p.m. The Kane Chronicles: The Serpent's Shadow Fox Theatre, 2215 Broadway St., Redwood City GREAT NEWS! Rick Riordan is starting his tour for The Kane Chronicles: The Serpents Shadow right here in the Bay Area on Publication Day, May 1. We are SOOOO excited. Yes - he's b-a-a-ack! Despite their best efforts, Carter and Sade Kane can't seem to keep Apophis, the chaos snake, down. Now Apophis is threatening to plunge the world into eternal darkness, and the Kanes are faced with the impossible task of having to destroy him once and for all. Unfortunately, the magicians of the House of Life are on the brink of civil war, the gods are divided, and the young initiates of Brooklyn House stand almost alone against the forces of chaos. The Kanes' only hope is an ancient spell that might turn the serpent's own shadow into a weapon, but the magic has been lost for a millennia. To find the answer, the Kanes must rely on the murderous ghost of a powerful magician who might be able to lead them to the Serpent's Shadow . . . or might lead them to their deaths in the depths of the underworld. Nothing less than the mortal world is at stake when the Kane family fulfills its destiny in this thrilling conclusion to The Kane Chronicles. PLEASE NOTE: Mr. Riordan will only be speaking and answering patrons’ questions during the event, therefore no signing line will be held. Pre-signed copies of The Kane Chronicles series, The Heroes of Olympus series, and The Percy Jackson and the Olympians series will be available for purchase at the Fox Theatre the evening of the event.
