The Red Pyramid

The Red Pyramid is one of my favorite books by one of my favorite authors. Rick Riordan also wrote the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. The Red Pyramid has a lot of adventure and action, which makes it addicting to read.

The two main characters in the book are Carter, 14, and Sadie, 12. They are brother and sister who were separated when they were young because their mother died. Sadie ended up living with their grandparents in London while Carter ended up living with his dad, Dr. Julius Kane. Carter’s dad is an Egyptologist and studies ancient Egyptian artifacts so he and Carter are always traveling. Sadie gets to see her father twice a year so when the three of them get together this time, they head to the British museum. Things don’t go according to plan. The Rosetta Stone explodes releasing some evil forces and their dad disappears. One of the evil forces is Set, an Egyptian god that is building a red pyramid, which will ultimately give him more power. Will Carter and Sadie be able to rescue their father in time or will Set destroy the continent first?

This book was so good that I was reading all the time. It’s a really great adventure and I really like the mythology.
