Description
EVER since the gods of Ancient Egypt were unleashed on the modern world, Carter Kane and his sister, Sadie, have been in big trouble.
As descendants of the magical House of Life, they command certain powers. But now a terrifying enemy – Apophis, the giant snake of chaos – is rising.
If Carter and Sadie don’t destroy him, the world will end in five days’ time. And in order to battle the forces of chaos, they must revive the sun god Ra – a feat no magician has ever achieved. Because first they must search the world for the three sections of the Book of Ra, then they have to learn how to chant its spells . . .
Can the Kanes destroy Apophis before he swallows the sun and plunges the earth into darkness . . . forever?

This book is history masquerading as a fun, fast-paced story. My kids loved this book because the story was fun and exciting, but the author mixed in so much Egyptian history and mythology that my kids really learned something. It’s certainly not a textbook, but it made the topic fun and has inspired my kids to learn more about Ancient Egypt.

in this second book the heroes appear more like generic teenagers, with Sadie by far the more annoying of the two. The only difference between brother and sister is Sadie’s incurable habit of blurting out whatever thought crosses her mind, no matter who is listening, and how dangerous the circumstances are – not really a sign of her supposedly superior intelligence!

Percy Jackson was good, but the Kane Chronicles are incredible! The characters are really likable and the occasional comic relief throughout the stories helps break up the serious stuff so that it’s not too much.

My son loves the Rick Riordan books and The Kane Chronicles series is another winner.
