Book Review: The Red Pyramid



In this 1st person fantasy novel, Carter Kane travels the world with his father, the brilliant Egyptologist Julius Kane. All he wants is a “normal” life, going to school and having friends. But he has exactly what his sister, Sadie, wants: time with their father. On the only day they are allowed to see each other, their father takes them to the British Museum, saying he will “set things right.” But when the Rosetta Stone explodes and their father releases a nasty Egyptian god, Carter and Sadie get sucked into an epic quest of loyalty and heroism.Soon, Sadie and Carter discover that the gods of Egypt are waking, and the worst of them--Set--has his sights on the Kanes. To stop him, the siblings embark on a dangerous journey across the globe--a quest that brings them ever closer to the truth about their family, and their links to a secret order that has existed since the time of the pharaohs. With strong, relatable characters and constant action and humor, The Red Pyramid is a great choice to read.
