Leaving his manuscript with his agent and editor for review, Rick Riordan presented the book to a group of sixth, seventh, and eighth graders to read and critique. Haley suggested that he should turn that story into a book, and Riordan wrote the book over the next year despite being busy at that time. This led Riordan to create the fictional character of Percy Jackson and create the story of how he travels across the United States to recover Zeus' lightning bolt. When Rick Riordan ran out of myths, his son suggested that he would make up new stories using existing mythological characters and new ones. His son, Haley, had been studying Greek mythology in second grade and requested that his father tell him bedtime stories based on Greek myths.
