The Red Pyramid is by the author of the Percy Jackson series. For this new series, Rick Riordan brings the Egyptian gods to life.
Carter and Sadie Kane are siblings who have been raised separately since their mother's death under mysterious circumstances. Carter travels this world with his father, the famous Egyptologist Julius Kane. Sadie lives with her maternal grandparents in England.
The book starts with Julius and Carter visiting Sadie in London on Christmas Eve. Julius has arranged a special private tour of the British Museum. In an attempt to summon an Egyptian god, Julius apparently destroys the Rosetta Stone and unleashes five gods, including Set, the family's mortal enemy. Julius disappears, and Carter and Sadie are left to rescue their father. Along the way, they encounter additional gods in human form and learn a secret about their heritage. This is a very entertaining book. While reading, I learned a lot about the gods of Egypt. I am looking forward to reading the second book in this series.
