Red Pyramid By Rick Riordan

Red Pyramid. A wonderful tale of a brother and a sister who get stuck in a heck of trouble. Egyptian gods, magic spells, curses and traps. Carter and Sadie Kane didn't realize what they're going to be a part of....until their father blew up the British museum. Meeting an old someone who they didn't expect to- their old uncle Amos, who afterwards lead them to what's known as ''The House Of Life''. On the journey, Carter & Sadie discovered magic powers of their own, making them less dependable on gods and goddesses such as Horus - God of sky, war, and protection. Isis - Goddess of motherhood, magic, and fertility. Bast - Goddess of cats. An amazing book, keeps you addicted, I really liked it and I can't wait to read book 2 - The Throne Of Fire, then i'll probably make a review on that. :)

Synopsis: The Red Pyramid is the first novel in The Kane Chronicles series, which tells of the adventures of modern day fourteen-year-old Carter Kane and his twelve-year-old sister Sadie Kane, as they discover that they are descended from the ancient Egyptian pharohs Narmer and Rameses The Great. Carter learns that he is a host of Horus, and Sadie is a host of Isis. The siblings have amulets. Carter has the Eye Of Horus, and Sadie has the Knot Of Isis. Their father, Julius Kane, attempts to summon Osiris through the Rosetta Stone, but also releases the five children of the "Demon Days": Horus, Set, Isis, and Nephthys. Osiris is confined by Set. Soon, Carter and Sadie scramble to Phoenix, Arizona, where they attempt to kill Set, and destroy his Red Pyramid.
