Rick Riordan of "Percy Jackson" fame has a new book series coming out. The first book of the Kane Chronicles, The Red Pyramid is an exciting action adventure. I read it while I was on vacation last week. The story follows brother and sister Carter and Sadie Kane, as they struggle to understand their family legacy. After their father seemingly kills himself in an explosion at the British Museum, they are forced to flee to New York City with their mysterious Uncle Amos. Once there, they discover that they are heirs to great power, if they can survive a confrontation with an evil Egyptian God.
This saga does for the Egyptian Mythology what the Percy Jackson series did for the Greek Mythology - brings it to life! The story is action packed and energetic, the characters a likeable and believable, and you will find yourself rooting for their success at once. Don't miss what is sure to be the next blockbuster favorite series by YA author Rick Riordan.
