The title of my book is The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan. This book is the first book in the Kane Chronicles series. The genre of this book is fantasy and I know this because, throughout the whole book, the main characters Carter and Sadie Kane battle mythical creatures and gods by using magical powers. The book starts off with siblings Carter and Sadie Kane getting separated after their mom mysteriously dies. Carter stays with their dad while Sadie goes to live with their grandparents in England. The reason they were separated in the first place is because at their birthday Carter and Sadie got into a fight and make the cake explode. They managed to trigger each other's magic but nobody could know about this so they were forced to get split up. Their dad eventually reunites the two when they are tweens to help him with his work, but he gets captured by an evil god named Set after he tried to unleash Set in a museum. Set is the god of the underworld so their dad wanted to make a deal with Set to get back their mom. This leads to them being taken in by their Uncle Amos who brings them to the House of Life and explains to them that they host Egyptian gods and have magical powers. Now Carter and Sadie go on a quest to defeat Set and get their mom and dad back before Set takes over the world.
I think that this book is very exciting and entertaining. Throughout the entire book, there are numerous connections that can be made like how Carter, Sadie, and Percy Jackson all have gods in their minds that give them advice and magic powers. Along with that, there are many different quotes that come from the text that really make you think deeply about what you just read. Examples of these quotes are “It takes strength and courage to admit the truth.” and “In life, you will need to make serious sacrifices.” I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed the Harry Potter series, the Percy Jackson series, or just magic books in general because this book is full of exciting adventures and showdowns.
