There has been a noticeable trend of children's books being turned into movies for the big screen. Books such as the Harry Potter series, Twilight, and now most recently Maurice Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are." Another children's book the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan can now be added to that list. In 2010 the movie Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief based off of the first book, will come out.Turning children's books into movies is a great way to capture kids and teens attention to how interesting and fun reading can be. Once they see the movie then maybe they will want to read the book that the movie was based on. Below is a trailer for the movie inspired by the Percy Jackson series.
