The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan
Riordan is at it again with his magic making and mythology! This enchanting tale features Carter and Sadie Kane a brother and sister duo with quite a bit of personality and style. When their dad Julius is swept up into a magical tomb and hidden away by an evil force called Set, Carter and Sadie must go on a journey to find him. Aided by Bast the cat goddess who seems to be their only friend the duo finds themselves in many different hilarious and treacherous situations. The bro/sis team are delightful and refreshing as they narrate each chapter switching off when one feels the other is not telling the story right. Riordan has a terrific knack for weaving mythology into the everyday world and The Red Pyramid is an enchanting mixture of Egyptology, magic, and humor. This book would be great for any book club or literature circle and would especially work well for students studying Egypt.
