Since his mother’s death six years ago, Carter Kane has been living out of a suitcase, traveling the globe with his father, the brilliant Egyptologist Dr. Julius Kane. But while Carter’s been homeschooled, his younger sister, Sadie, has been living with their grandparents in London. Sadie has just what Carter wants — school friends and a chance at a “normal” life. But Carter has just what Sadie longs for—time with their father. After six years of living apart, the siblings have almost nothing in common. Until now.
On Christmas Eve, Sadie and Carter are reunited when their father brings them to the British Museum, with a promise that he’s going to “make things right.” But all does not go according to plan: Carter and Sadie watch as Julius summons a mysterious figure, who quickly banishes their father and causes a fiery explosion.
Soon Carter and Sadie discover that the gods of Ancient Egypt are waking, and the worst of them—Set—has a frightening scheme. To save their father, they must embark on a dangerous journey—a quest that brings them ever closer to the truth about their family and its links to the House of Life, a secret order that has existed since the time of the pharaohs.

Amazing feels like a kid wrote it full of adventure great read aloud but you need a HUGE imagination awesome book
This book totally made history more fun!!!!!!
I'm a big fan of Rick Riordan, and this book sounds really goo! I'll probably have to check it out soon! Greek mythology is soooooo interesting! Anyone elsse?
A little confusing compared to Greek mythology, but Rick Riordan has once again combined old stories with the modern world. The Kane family's quick-paced stories on recordings make it a unique type of story.
I LOVED THE PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS SERIES. LEARNING ABOUT THE GREEK GODS WERE VERY INTRIGUING.
I am also a big Percy Jackson fan!!
Omg, my friend has read this series and has told me about it. I really want to read it. REALLY BADLLY!!!
This book is soo great! My friend Eva gave it to me for my birthday and I love it! it is all about magic!
OMG! This book is amazing,it is so cool. It is all about adventure and magic it is so cool. I will give you a summary In the book Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan Sadie and Carter’s mother died and they are forced to live separate. Carter lives with his dad who is an archeologist, so Carter doesn’t get a normal life because they travel a lot. Sadie lives in London with her grandparents and lived a normal life, but Sadie only gets to see Carter and her dad twice a year. When her dad and Carter came to see Sadie, their dad insisted to go to a museum. All didn’t go well in the museum, their dad told Sadie and Carter to stay out of the room he was in; in the museum, but they didn’t. Instead they snuck into the room and hid behind wood. They saw their dad holding what looked like a boomerang, but were actually a wand. He was writing hieroglyphics with it, on the Rosetta Stone. Their dad was trying to summon gods. When he finally succeeded the god trapped him in a coffin and the coffin vanished in the floor. Sadie and Carter didn’t know what was going on and why their dad had magic. When the police came, they asked Carter and Sadie (in separate rooms) what had happened. They both had told the truth, but the police did not believe them. The police kicked them both out of London to go to U.S.A. In New York their uncle had a mansion to protect the children from evil magic. They all went from London to New York, and got there in a magic boat. The time it took to get to New York was only a couple of minutes! As they got to know what they do and what they are, they also realized they had to defeat Set from destroying the world. They met a couple people like Bast, the cat goddess. They met Zia, the magician of the house of life, and Thoth, the god of knowledge. They fought a lot of battles, but you will the end.
have read 'The Red Pyramid', 'The Throne of Fire' and 'The Serpernt's Shadow'. All are so amazing.!!!! And I have read the bonus on 'The Serpent's Shadow' that is called 'The Son of Sobek':) :) :)
