Rick Riordan unveils new 'Camp Half-Blood' novels, starting this fall
The first installment, co-written with Annabelle Oh, follows new demigod heroes as campers face monsters, curses and disappearing students.
On Tuesday, Random House Children's Books announced that author Rick Riordan is launching a four-book Camp Half-Blood series, with the first installment, The Wild Zone, arriving Sept. 29.
Riordan said working on his Emmy-winning Disney+ adaptation stirred his curiosity about Camp Half-Blood when Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, and Grover Underwood were absent from the original series.
Collaborating with different co-authors on each novel, Riordan is working with Annebelle Oh on the first book, followed by Kyle Lukoff, Jade Adia, and Pablo Cartaya on the subsequent three titles.
Since The Lightning Thief was published in 2005, Riordan's Percy Jackson novels have sold more than 150 million copies worldwide, with the new middle-grade books releasing every six months.
The Wild Zone reveals 'ancient threats and long-buried secrets' as campers face monsters, curses, and impossible choices while discovering what it means to belong, according to Random House.
