The Kane Chronicles: The Red Pyramid

The Red Pyramid is a great story about Egyptian gods and magic. The main characters are Carter Kane and Sadie Kane. They are twins and alternate views each paragraph. It is really neat to see the different types of magic each other know.

Carter and his dad go to visit Sadie, in London, because Sadie lives with her grandparents. They go to the Louvre museum, and head to the Egyptian monument. Unfortunately, Carter’s dad releases Set, the god of evil and gets taken over by him. Carter and Sadie saw their first view of Egyptian magic. Little do they know that they have serious magic power. They learn about their powers which lead to Carter and Sadie go on an amazing adventure, meeting gods that are trillions of years old, seeing ancient Egyptians, and crazy magicians. On the adventure, they discover their true talent, and Carter and Sadie learn about their dad’s true identity. I think anyone that likes the Percy Jackson series will love this book, as well as anyone who loves adventure books. I definitely recommend this book to everyone, though.
