The Red Pyramid

The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan

Review by Alan

Stars: 4

Summary:Carter and Sadie Kane have been separated since their mom died. One night their dad takes them to a museum and promises to make everything right. Then everything goes wrong. Their father summons a god named Set and then he blows up the museum and there father is entombed in a coffin and sent through the floor.

They then are told by their long lost uncle that magic is real and Egyptian gods are real too. They then spend the next week tracking down the god that captured their father to set their father free. They then realize that they have to stop Set from destroying the North American continent.

My Thoughts:This is an exciting book. It is like the Percy Jackson Series that my brother is reviewing and it is also by the same author. I liked this book and I have read all of his books for kids. This book made me feel nervous at some points because I was thinking  “Are they going to die?” or “What is going to go wrong again?” It made me laugh and my family would be asking “What’s so funny?”

I can sort of relate to the characters like I am away from by brother for a week and when I get back he is changed just like Carter and Sadie have been away from each other for 6 years and they have changed a lot. This is similar to the Percy Jackson books by having gods and magic. It is also like the Mahican another book I hope to review.
