The Red Pyramid


The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan

Hi, I am Advik. I love to read, write, bike, swim, and watch TV.

The Red Pyramid, the first book in ‘The Kane Chronicles,’ follows a pair of siblings, Sadie and Carter Kane. Carter travels the world with his father, a brilliant Egyptologist and author. Sadie lives with her grandparents, getting a chance at ‘a normal life.’ On Christmas Eve, Sadie and Carter are reunited when their father brings them to the British Museum, promising to “make things right.” But things don’t go as planned: Carter and Sadie watch as Julius summons a mystery figure who immediately entombs their father in an Egyptian sarcophagus and creates a fiery explosion.

After being saved from their Uncle Amos, who turns out to be a real magician, Carter and Sadie quickly find that the gods of Ancient Egypt are very much real, and the worst of them, Set, the god of chaos and evil, has a terrifying plan. To save their father, they must embark on a dangerous trip that will lead them closer to the truth about their family and its connections to the House of Life, a hidden society of magicians that have existed since the time of the pharaohs.

I love this book and it used to be one of my favorites when I was younger. I think this book is super easy to follow and it is very well-written, especially during the battle scenes. Riordan writes from the perspectives of both African-American Carter and British-American Sadie, two teen kids who are brilliantly witty, smart yet have very unique voices.

Find it in print, ebook and eaudiobook here.
