About this product

Product Information

Since their mother's death, Carter and Sadie have become near strangers. While Sadie has lived with her grandparents in London, her brother has traveled the world with their father, the brilliant Egyptologist, Dr. Julius Kane. One night, Dr. Kane brings the siblings together for a "research experiment" at the British Museum, where he hopes to set things right for his family. Instead, he unleashes the Egyptian god Set, who banishes him to oblivion and forces the children to flee for their lives. 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.

Siblings Carter and Sadie Kane are plunged into a world of Egyptian gods and monsters when their father, secretly a powerful magician and descendant of the pharaohs, disappears after a failed spell blows up the Rosetta Stone and summons five gods into the mortal world. Fleeing assassination orders from the underground House of Life, the brother and sister begin to discover their new powers-to read hieroglyphics, to work spells using Divine Words, to create ghostly avatars to help them in combat-and soon learn that Carter is host to Horus, god of war, while Isis, goddess of wisdom, has manifested in Sadie. Under attack from magicians, monsters, and crocodile gods alike, and hoping to rescue their father from Set, god of chaos, the Kanes must find a way to banish the chaos god before he destroys all of North America. Similar in concept to the author's best-selling Percy Jackson books, the new series relies lightly on formula, here invoking Egyptian (rather than Greek) mythology and culture in a story driven by wisecracking adolescents in the modern world. Refreshingly for fantasy, Carter and Sadie are biracial; nicely individuated with honest, compelling voices, they share the duties of narration, while the action hits its stride in the second chapter and never lets up. Fans of the Riordan magic-equal parts danger, myth, and irreverence-will embrace this new series with open arms.-- Horn Book

    Fantastic!

    Fantastic book series! My 10 year old son gobbled them up. He loves all the Reardon's series! I hope he's soaking up some Egyptian mythology!

  • Well written, interesting and entertaining!

    Another great series by Rick Riordan which captures the imaginiation of pre-teen and teen readers while introducing Egyptian God mythology and like wise Egyptian history. The Red Pyramid is the first in this series and centers around 12 year old Sadie and her 14 year old brother who happen to be decendants of ancient pharoahs that "hosted" the spirits of some of Egypts most well known Gods such as Isis, Osiris, Horus,Set and many others. The book is well writtn and the characters read as typical kids trying to accomplish major feats to save the world as well as those most near and dear to them. If you enjoyed the Percy Jackson - Lightning Thief series,you will not be disappointed with this one!

  • Red Pyramid

    First let me say the story was great and the book moves very fast, with loads of action. The people are believable and well defined. The plot follows two youth as they discover and understand the world of god and magic. This follows the Egyptian gods and magic and the kids get sucked into a modern story of Egyptian myth. They soon find themselves in way over their head trying to save the world from a chaos god that would like nothing more then to destroy the world. The writing and everything to this book rates excellent but it is a youth book. It deals with gods taking over people and the use of what I call real magic, as well as calling upon gods to get or use magic. This is no fairytale type book it cuts to close to the truth. Christians, and Jews be warned you may not want your child to ...

    My kids (8 and 11) love this series of books. I highly recommend it. And after reading it my daughter is into Egyptian mythology. I love it when they discover a new interest through books!
