Great for independent readers who enjoy fast-paced, mythologically inspired adventures with immersive world-building and character-driven humor.
About the Book
Carter and Sadie must awaken the sun god Ra before the chaos serpent Apophis breaks free and devours the world, racing across three continents to collect the scrolls of the Book of Ra while their new Brooklyn House is under attack. A strong middle entry in the Kane Chronicles that deepens the mythology and raises the stakes significantly. Riordan's humor and pace are in fine form.
