I recently got the opportunity to read The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan (the author who wrote the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series). I won't give away too much, but I really enjoyed the book! It was a great start to the series. At times, there was a lot of information and it could get pretty complicated, but Riordan does a great job explaining everything. The story focuses on who siblings, Sadie and Carter Kane. The two seem like just regular kids, but little do they realize that they have an secret and ancient connection to Egypt. They begin to travel all over the world facing ancient gods, monsters and battling a secret organization! It's a fantastic start to a very interesting series. The book not only alludes to the Percy Jackson series, but maybe even another possible series involving Mayan or Aztec histories. Could this mean some sort of cross-over between the Kane Chronicles and future Percy Jackson books?!?! I guess we will just have to wait and see what Rick Riordan does in the future. Until then, make sure that you catch up on the Percy Jackson series and start reading The Kane Chronicles! It'll not only be a fantastic story, but a great way to kick off your Summer Reading Program book list!!! Hope you enjoy!
