Another great series by Rick Riordan which captures the imaginiation of pre-teen and teen readers while introducing Egyptian God mythology and like wise Egyptian history. The Red Pyramid is the first in this series and centers around 12 year old Sadie and her 14 year old brother who happen to be decendants of ancient pharoahs that "hosted" the spirits of some of Egypts most well known Gods such as Isis, Osiris, Horus,Set and many others. The book is well writtn and the characters read as typical kids trying to accomplish major feats to save the world as well as those most near and dear to them. If you enjoyed the Percy Jackson - Lightning Thief series,you will not be disappointed with this one!
Fantastic book series! My 10 year old son gobbled them up. He loves all the Reardon's series! I hope he's soaking up some Egyptian mythology!

First let me say the story was great and the book moves very fast, with loads of action. The people are believable and well defined. The plot follows two youth as they discover and understand the world of god and magic. This follows the Egyptian gods and magic and the kids get sucked into a modern story of Egyptian myth. They soon find themselves in way over their head trying to save the world from a chaos god that would like nothing more then to destroy the world. The writing and everything to this book rates excellent but it is a youth book. It deals with gods taking over people and the use of what I call real magic, as well as calling upon gods to get or use magic. This is no fairytale type book it cuts to close to the truth. Christians, and Jews be warned you may not want your child to read this. I am one of those because of that the book lost its Excellent rating and I lowered it to Average. However if you have no problem with these the book will be a excellent read.Read full review
