The Red Pyramid Book By: Rick Riordan PowerPoint By: Carl Lake
Plot Since their mother’s death, Carter and Sadie Kane have become near strangers. While Sadie has lived with her grandparents in London, her brother has traveled the world with their father Julius Kane. One night, Dr. Kane brings them together for a "research experiment" at a British museum, where he hopes to make things “right” for his family. Instead, he unleashes the Egyptian god Set, who banishes him to oblivion and forces the children to run for their lives. Soon, Sadie and Carter find out that the gods of Egypt are waking, and the worst of them, Set, has his sights on them. To stop him, they go on a dangerous journey across the world on a quest that brings them closer to the truth about their family, and links them to a secret order that has existed since the time of Ancient Egypt.

My Rating • I rate this book 8 out of a possible 10 because while Rick Riordan combines the perfect amount of humor, suspense, action and danger to the story, he also lacks to tell the reader about the Gods specific title (Ex. Ra- God of the sun)
About The Author • Rick Riordan is the author of the New York Times #1 bestselling Percy Jackson & the Olympians series and the Heroes of Olympus Series. He lives in San Antonio, Texas with his wife and two sons.
