User blog comment:Matt585/Greek myths from the POV of Percy Jackson/@comment-5593616-20130607203430/@comment-5929284-20130611125251

It doesn't really seem like a money grab to me. I mean, yes, having the famous name on the cover will make it more popular, but to be honest, it'll be great in lots of ways. Rick used to be a teacher, and always loved mythology; this book would make a great teaching resource and get kids more interested. Plus, while the PJO series gives some explainations for greek myths, this will be a lot more in depth. And really, who wants to read the actual Illiad(believe me, I have) at middle school age? Percy's narration could be a great addition.
