I don't know why Riordan's policy of representing the underepresented is now seen as inappropriate. Percy Jackson himself was meant to show that even a child with learning difficulties can become a hero and one of the most powerful demigods in the world. In the second series,  orphans such as Leo, abandoned ones such as Jason, abused, mistreated, discriminated such as Piper and Hazel, misunderstood characters such as Frank are shown as the 7. In my school, all books by Rick Riordan are given only to 9th grade (14 years) and higher, not 10-12 years.
